Survival rate of early stage bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system, with a relatively high morbidity and mortality rate. Once the disease develops to the early stage, patients not only have to endure great pain, but also the complexity of the disease increases the difficulty of treatment. At this time, the most concerned issue for patients is "how long can I live with early bladder cancer?" With this question, let's take a look at the following introduction.

There is no clear answer to how long patients with early bladder cancer can live, which is related to many factors. In general, how long patients with early bladder cancer can live depends on whether the treatment plan is appropriate and the patient's condition, mentality, physical function, etc. In the early stage, the survival rate is still very high.
The treatment method for early bladder cancer is an important factor affecting how long patients can live in the early stage of bladder cancer. Simple surgery is not enough to treat bladder cancer. Surgery can only remove solid tumors visible to the naked eye. It cannot prevent the metastasis of cancer cells or eliminate cancer cells in the blood. The main clinical methods for treating early bladder cancer are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine.
Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for early bladder cancer. It can shrink the tumor to a certain extent, but it will also increase toxicity and side effects as the treatment time increases. Therefore, chemotherapy drugs and chemotherapy time should be determined based on tumor relief, symptom relief, and treatment-related toxicity. Radiotherapy is usually used in combination with chemotherapy, which is more effective than radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone, but radiotherapy is not very suitable for patients with poor physical function.
