Bladder Cancer Treatment
Bladder cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the bladder’s inner lining. As the disease progresses, it may invade the bladder wall and potentially spread to other parts of the body. The treatment for bladder cancer largely depends on the extent of the tumor and whether it has spread beyond the bladder. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial in determining the most effective treatment approach.
Investigations Required to Diagnose Bladder Cancer
-
Urine Test: A urine sample is analyzed to check for abnormal cells, blood, or bacteria. -
Physical Examination: The doctor may perform a physical exam to check for any lumps that could indicate the spread of cancer in nearby organs.
-
Other Diagnostic Tests:
-
1. Cystoscopy: A procedure where a flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the bladder to check for tumors.
-
2. MRI and CT Scan: Imaging tests to assess the spread of cancer.
-
3. Urogram: A series of X-rays to evaluate the urinary tract.
Bladder Cancer Surgery Procedures
-
Transurethral Bladder Tumor Resection (TURBT): This is a minimally invasive procedure where the surgeon removes the tumor using a cystoscope inserted through the urethra. It is typically used for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
-
Radical Cystectomy and Lymph Node Dissection:In advanced cases, this procedure involves the removal of the entire bladder, along with surrounding tissues and organs such as the prostate, part of the vagina, or ovaries. Pelvic lymph node dissection helps detect if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.
-
Urinary Diversion: If the bladder is removed, this procedure creates a new way for the body to pass urine. A portion of the intestine or colon is used to create a diversion to an external bag or stoma that collects urine.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery and the patient's overall health. Post- operative care is essential for managing complications and ensuring proper healing. Patients should follow their surgeon’s instructions to minimize risks and promote recovery.
