Early treatment of superficial bladder cancer has significant effects

Mr. Liu is already 94 years old this year, and others envy him for his health and longevity. Little did they know that Mr. Liu was diagnosed with superficial bladder cancer at the age of 90, and had three attacks in the past two years. The doctor considered that his various indicators showed that his physical condition was still good. After full communication with Mr. Liu's family, the doctor said that superficial bladder cancer was early stage, so he underwent radical cystectomy for Mr. Liu, that is, radical cystectomy + bilateral ureterostomy. Now more than two years have passed, and Mr. Liu's treatment effect is very good. Except for regular checkups and replacement of ostomy bags, nothing else has been affected.

Superficial bladder cancer is prone to recurrence, so in addition to routine transurethral resection, regular bladder instillation therapy is also required. Clinical statistics show that superficial bladder tumors account for 2/3 of bladder tumors, of which 65% of patients will relapse within six months of illness, and about 20% to 30% of patients can develop into invasive bladder cancer.

Clinical practice has shown that early radical treatment of superficial cystitis is effective. Low-grade (G1) superficial tumors can achieve 98% and 93% survival rates in 10 and 20 years respectively through surgery and perfusion. High-grade (G3) superficial bladder cancer needs to be taken more seriously because the recurrence time is shorter, more frequent, and the prognosis is worse. For recurrent tumors, radical bladder surgery should be performed if necessary and the patient's physical condition allows. Do not rely on luck.
