Bladder Cancer
  • Bladder cancer can be formed in any the layers
    that line walls of the bladder.The most common
    form of bladder cancer is transitional cell
    carcinoma, which is seen as growths, like small
    mushrooms, growing out of the bladder lining. In
    most cases, this form of cancer will be confined
    to the bladders lining and is unlikely to
    spread.In some cases, however, transitional
    cell carcinoma invades through the lining and
    into the muscular wall of the bladder, and
    sometimes into additional nearby organs.Less
    common cancers of the bladder include squamous
    cell carcinomas, which are most common in
    developing countries. Another is adenocarcinoma,
    which is a cancer of the cells in the lining of
    the bladder that produce mucus.

Signs Symptoms of Bladder Cancer
  • A sign is an identification that can be seen or
    felt by someone else. The most common sign of
    bladder cancer is blood in the urine.A symptom
    is a feeling or something unusual you notice such
    as changes in bladder habits, for example having
    to urinate more often than usual or feelings of
    pain or burning during urination.It is very
    important to note that many bladder cancer signs
    and symptoms are also associated with other
    diseases and conditions and may not necessarily
    indicate bladder cancer. It is important to
    discuss any of the symptoms with your doctor.

Treatment of Bladder Cancer
  • Different kinds of bladder cancer respond
    differently to treatment. Treatment and recovery
    rates basically depend on how far into the
    bladders layers the cancer has grown.The most
    common treatment for bladder cancer confined to
    the bladders lining is minimal invasive surgery
    to remove the tumor.For cancer that has invaded
    the bladders muscles and other organs, surgical
    removal of the bladder is the most common
    treatment. When this approach is taken,
    surrounding lymph nodes may also be removed to
    prevent recurrence, or the cancer spreading to
    other organs.

Treatment of Bladder Cancer
Continue
  • After the bladder has been removed, surgeons
    create a new method for the storage and removal
    of urine. Commonly, a conduit has been created
    using a segment of the small intestine to
    transfer urine from the kidneys, through an
    opening on the skin, into an external collection
    bag. Other methods, involving the creation of a
    new internal bladder, are becoming more
    common.Patients suffering from invasive cancer
    are often treated with chemotherapy before or
    after surgery.In some cases, doctors may opt to
    preserve the bladder through a combination of
    radiation therapy and chemotherapy, rather than
    remove it.
