What is the cure rate of bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Once the disease develops to the late 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 late-stage bladder cancer?" So what is the cure rate of bladder cancer?

There is no clear answer to the cure rate of bladder cancer, which is related to many factors. In general, the survival time of patients with advanced bladder cancer depends on whether the treatment plan is appropriate, as well as the patient's condition, mentality, and physical function.
The treatment method for advanced bladder cancer is an important factor affecting the cure rate of bladder cancer. Surgery alone 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 treatments for advanced bladder cancer include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for advanced 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 based on tumor relief, symptom relief, and treatment-related toxicity. Radiotherapy is usually used in combination with chemotherapy, and the effect is better than radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone, but radiotherapy is not very suitable for patients with poor physical function. The cure rate of bladder cancer is still very high.
