How long can you live without surgery for bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is a very common disease in urology. Patients with this disease will have intermittent hematuria clinically, so they must be treated in time. If it continues for a long time, anemia will occur. So how long can a bladder cancer patient live without surgery?

Generally, only palliative local resection is sufficient. If the bladder is completely removed, an artificial bladder must be found to replace it. Although surgery is the main way to treat limited-stage bladder cancer, transurethral bladder tumor resection is the first choice for bladder cancer. It depends on the specific tumor stage and pathological grade, and different intravesical instillation chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimens are used after surgery. After total bladder removal, the general survival period is only three to five years.
How long can a patient with bladder cancer live without surgery? Since the bladder is necessary, an artificial bladder is needed to maintain the patient's normal bladder function. Artificial bladders are expensive and are not affordable for ordinary patients' families. Tumors are also classified as chronic diseases, and chronic diseases are collectively referred to as diseases of the rich, so ordinary families basically cannot afford them.
