Is the recurrence rate of bladder cancer high?

Bladder cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor disease, which is more common in men. Once you have bladder cancer, it will seriously affect your work and life. For patients with early bladder cancer, surgical treatment can effectively control the disease and achieve clinical cure, but surgery has certain disadvantages. There is a risk of recurrence, so is the recurrence rate of bladder cancer high?

Surgery is a common method for treating bladder cancer, especially for early-stage bladder cancer. Surgical removal of the cancerous lesions can quickly control the disease and achieve clinical cure. However, surgery can only remove lesions visible to the naked eye, but cannot effectively remove residual cells. There is a high chance of recurrence after surgery. Surgery is also very traumatic to the patient's body, which can easily cause serious damage to the patient's vitality and lead to physical weakness. Clinical practice has shown that many bladder cancer patients have a high chance of recurrence six months or a year after surgery.
I hope the above introduction is helpful to everyone. Bladder cancer patients should not think that the operation is successful and underestimate the role of postoperative consolidation treatment. Choosing scientific and reasonable methods that treat both the symptoms and the root causes and establishing a positive and optimistic attitude are all effective measures to reduce patients' pain and prolong their lives.
