What tests should bladder cancer patients take

Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the urinary system. Bladder cancer generally has no abnormal symptoms in the early stage. Once painful or painless hematuria, frequent urination, urgency, urinary pain or lower abdominal distension and pain, dysuria and other symptoms appear, it means that the cancer cells have spread to other organs or tissues and the disease has entered the late stage. So what tests should patients with bladder cancer take? Let's ask experts to introduce this issue to you.

1. Routine examination: After centrifuging urine, look for red blood cells under a high-power microscope to determine the presence of hematuria. This is the only way to diagnose hidden hematuria. It is simple and easy to use. This method can be used to detect early bladder cancer patients and can also be used as a routine examination item for high-risk groups.

2. Urine exfoliated cytology is a simple, easy and non-invasive examination method, which is of great value in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. About 85% of bladder cancer patients will test positive in urine exfoliated cytology.

3. X-ray angiography can be used to understand the bladder filling situation and the scope and depth of tumor infiltration. Combined with renal pelvis and ureterography, it can be used to understand whether there is hydronephrosis, ureteral infiltration and the degree of infiltration.

4. Cystoscopy can directly see the growth location, size, number, shape, presence or absence of pedicles, range of infiltration, and whether there is bleeding in the tumor.

5. B-ultrasound examination: By filling the bladder and fully stretching the bladder wall mucosa, B-ultrasound can measure the size, location and degree of mucosal infiltration of the tumor. If it is a transrectal ultrasound scan, it can show the deformity of the bladder wall at the base of the tumor and the echo of the mass protruding into the bladder cavity, which can be used to determine the scope of the bladder tumor.

6. CT examination: When bladder tumor tissue grows into the cavity or outside the wall and metastasizes, CT imaging can fully display its shape and size with an accuracy rate of about 80%. This performance is helpful for the staging of bladder cancer. (Puncture and biopsy are usually not recommended)
