Which hospital is best for treating bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is a malignant overgrowth of cells in the bladder. The most common overgrowth is in the bladder cavity, which is the bladder mucosal epithelium. In the human body, the surface of hollow organs is usually made up of epithelial cells. Each organ has its own type of epithelial cells. The epithelial cells of the bladder mucosal epithelium are called urothelial cells, and the cancer that grows from them is called urothelial carcinoma, which is the most common type of bladder cancer.

Nowadays, there are many hospitals to choose from for bladder cancer, including general hospitals, various types of specialized hospitals, large hospitals and small hospitals, private or joint venture hospitals, etc. According to the scale and conditions of the hospital, medical institutions in my country are roughly divided into three levels. Only by comprehensively analyzing the conditions of various hospitals according to the patient's condition can we choose the most suitable hospital for bladder cancer.

At present, based on the technical level, equipment conditions, management level and scale, medical institutions in my country are roughly divided into three levels (each level is further divided into multiple grades such as A, B, C, etc.). Hospitals of different levels have their own characteristics and suitable diseases.

First-level hospitals: are grass-roots hospitals that directly provide prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services to the community. In addition to community hospitals, they are generally township hospitals, which can provide convenient and economical basic medical services. Generally speaking, patients with mild illnesses, slow disease progression, simple common diseases, or diseases that have been diagnosed and stabilized in the upper-level hospitals are suitable for treatment at the nearest first-level hospitals. Such as common colds, fever, coughs, headaches, sore throats, diarrhea, constipation, stomach problems, confirmed hypertension and diabetes, sequelae of cerebrovascular accidents, joint sprains, skin lacerations, general ENT and oral diseases, etc.

Secondary hospitals: Regional hospitals that can provide comprehensive medical services to multiple communities and undertake certain teaching and scientific research tasks. For most common and frequently occurring diseases, as long as the condition is not complicated, the diagnosis can be clear, and it is not extremely urgent or serious, you can choose secondary hospitals such as regional, district and county hospitals.

Tertiary hospitals: are regional hospitals that provide high-level specialized medical and health services to several regions and perform advanced teaching and scientific research tasks. In addition to central-level hospitals, tertiary hospitals are generally affiliated hospitals of medical universities and provincial people's hospitals at the top of Chinese hospitals, as well as affiliated hospitals of military medical universities of the People's Liberation Army and general hospitals of major military regions. In general small and medium-sized cities, they are generally the people's hospitals (or traditional Chinese medicine hospitals) of the city and the PLA hospitals stationed in the city.

Tertiary hospitals represent the highest level of medical technology in my country and are also considered large hospitals by people. Generally speaking, for extremely urgent and critical illnesses (bladder cancer), it is best to contact the emergency center or go directly to a tertiary hospital; patients with chronic diseases and difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be diagnosed or are not effectively treated in primary and secondary hospitals should also go to tertiary hospitals.

In addition, experts also recommend that patients should go to large hospitals for treatment if their condition is more complicated. First, large hospitals have stronger technical capabilities, and second, large hospitals have more comprehensive examination methods. When an emergency occurs, the first choice is often a hospital close to home, which may not be a large hospital, so that it can be treated in a timely manner. When the condition is serious, the diagnosis is unclear, and the treatment effect is not obvious, regardless of the distance, you can generally choose a large hospital for treatment.
