What is the cure rate of bladder cancer surgery

In recent years, due to environmental damage, the incidence of various cancers has continued to rise. Bladder cancer seriously affects the patient's health, reduces the patient's quality of life, and brings great harm to the patient. Therefore, once bladder cancer occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. It is very important to understand the treatment of bladder cancer. So, what is the cure rate of bladder cancer? What are the treatment methods?

(I) Surgical treatment is the first choice for the treatment of bladder cancer

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. Radiotherapy for bladder cancer

Bladder radiotherapy is usually performed before or after surgery. Palliative radiotherapy can also achieve certain results for patients with advanced disease, those who have missed the opportunity for surgery or refuse surgery, or those who have relapsed after surgery.

3. Interventional radiotherapy for bladder cancer

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. 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.

(IV) Chemotherapy

Chemical drug treatments for bladder cancer include intravesical chemotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, and intra-arterial chemotherapy to determine whether bladder cancer can be cured.

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.

What is the cure rate of bladder cancer? Experts suggest: Bladder cancer found in the early stage will not be life-threatening as long as it has not metastasized, so don't worry too much. Bladder cancer is difficult to treat and is prone to recurrence. Clinically, comprehensive treatment is often used, that is, transurethral bladder tumor resection + postoperative bladder instillation chemotherapy.
