Understanding Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the bladder, the organ responsible for storing urine. The most common form of bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma), which starts in the cells that line the inside of the bladder. Bladder cancer can be invasive or non-invasive, and early diagnosis plays a crucial role in successful treatment.
Symptoms of Bladder Cancer:
Blood in the urine (hematuria)
Frequent or painful urination
Urinary urgency or feeling the need to urinate often
Pain or burning sensation during urination
Lower back or pelvic pain
Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
Advanced Bladder Cancer Diagnosis at Max Smart Hospital
Early and accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. At Max Smart Hospital, we utilize advanced diagnostic methods to accurately assess the stage and type of bladder cancer. Our diagnostic approach may include:
Urine Cytology: A laboratory test to check for cancerous cells in the urine.
Cystoscopy: A procedure that allows the doctor to examine the bladder using a thin, flexible tube with a camera.
CT Urogram: A specialized imaging test to obtain detailed pictures of the urinary system.
MRI and Ultrasound: Additional imaging techniques to determine the spread of cancer to surrounding tissues.
These tests help us determine whether the cancer is confined to the bladder or has spread, enabling us to create a precise and effective treatment plan.
Treatment Options for Bladder Cancer
At Max Smart Hospital, we provide a range of treatment options for bladder cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Our team of experts works closely with each patient to choose the best course of treatment based on the stage and type of cancer, as well as individual health factors.
Cystectomy Surgery for Bladder Cancer
Cystectomy is the primary surgical treatment for bladder cancer when the cancer is invasive or localized. It involves the removal of all or part of the bladder. There are two types of cystectomy:
Radical Cystectomy: The entire bladder is removed, often followed by the creation of a new way for urine to exit the body, such as through a neobladder or a urinary diversion.
Partial Cystectomy: Only the tumor and surrounding tissue are removed, preserving the remaining bladder function.
Our bladder cancer surgeons are highly skilled in performing minimally invasive cystectomy surgeries, leading to shorter recovery times and less post-surgical discomfort.
Chemotherapy for Bladder Cancer
Chemotherapy may be used to shrink tumors before surgery or to treat cancer that has spread. We use intravesical chemotherapy (directly into the bladder) or systemic chemotherapy (through the bloodstream) depending on the cancer’s stage.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is an advanced treatment option for bladder cancer, especially in cases where surgery is not viable. This treatment strengthens the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells. BCG therapy (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) is a common form of immunotherapy used for superficial bladder cancer.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy may be used for advanced bladder cancer to target and kill cancer cells, especially if surgery is not an option. It is also used as an adjunct treatment after cystectomy or in combination with chemotherapy.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapies focus on specific molecules involved in cancer growth and can be effective for bladder cancer that has spread to other areas of the body.
