Characteristics of urine routine in bladder cancer

The most likely thing for bladder cancer patients to do a routine urine test is to find an increase in red blood cells in the urine. This is mainly because after the bladder tumor comes into contact with the urine, red blood cells will be exuded, and the tumor has a relatively rich blood supply. However, urine can be examined by exfoliative cytology and Fisher's examination to determine whether there are tumor cells. Urine tests can also check for markers such as matrix metalloproteinases, which can be used for postoperative follow-up of bladder tumor patients. Bladder cancer is in a more serious state, which generally causes blood to be mixed in the urine. Generally, there will be an increase in red blood cells in the urine test, which may be accompanied by an inflammatory response, resulting in an increase in white blood cells or proteinuria in the urine test.

Can advanced bladder cancer with multiple metastases still be treated?

The survival time of patients with advanced bladder cancer is limited. Good treatment can help patients relieve symptoms and prolong their survival to a certain extent. Metastatic bladder cancer is mainly treated with chemotherapy. For metastatic bladder cancer, if chemotherapy is still ineffective, you can enter clinical trials and choose immunotherapy, which has a certain effect of pD1 and pDL1 antibodies. There is a good possibility of multiple metastases of bladder cancer.

What is the difference between cystitis and bladder cancer?

The specific cause of bladder cancer is unclear. It may be caused by genetics, environmental stimulation and other factors. Patients will experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, and macroscopic hematuria. They need to be admitted to the hospital for cystoscopy and urine routine examination for diagnosis. Patients with bladder cancer require surgical treatment, supplemented by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, etc. There is a possibility of cancer recurrence in the later stages of the disease. Patients with advanced bladder cancer have a poor prognosis and cannot be cured. Cystitis and bladder cancer are essentially different. Cystitis is a benign inflammatory disease, while bladder cancer is a malignant tumor disease.
