Analysis of common treatments for bladder cancer

With the advancement of social science and technology, many methods for treating bladder cancer have emerged. So what are the methods for treating bladder cancer ? Here are some common methods for treating bladder cancer.

In general, common treatments for bladder cancer include:

1. Surgical treatment

Surgical treatment is the main method for treating bladder cancer. The specific scope and method of surgery should be determined based on a comprehensive analysis of the tumor's stage, malignancy, pathological type, size, location, and involvement of adjacent organs.

2. Radiation therapy

Radiotherapy for bladder cancer is usually performed before or after surgery. Palliative radiotherapy can also achieve certain results for patients in advanced stages of the disease who have missed the right time for surgery or refuse surgery, or who have relapsed after surgery.

3. Interventional Radiotherapy

Interventional radiology therapy refers to the use of radiological technology to directly inject drugs into the tumor's feeding blood vessels through a catheter, thereby killing tumor cells and achieving the purpose of treating bladder cancer. For patients with stage II-IV bladder cancer, this method can also be used to shrink tumor lesions, increase surgical resection rates, and reduce recurrence rates.

4. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy methods for bladder cancer include intravesical instillation chemotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, arterial infusion chemotherapy, etc.

1. Intravesical chemotherapy is suitable for patients at all stages, especially for superficial tumors in stages 0-I. It does not have a good therapeutic effect on other lesions with deep infiltration, but it still has a therapeutic effect on those with superficial lesions.

2. Can combined systemic chemotherapy cure bladder cancer? Combined systemic chemotherapy can increase the surgical resection rate and improve the comprehensive treatment effect of bladder cancer.

The above is an introduction to the common methods of treating bladder cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Patients should choose the method of treating bladder cancer that suits them according to their actual condition and should not choose blindly.
