How long can you live after bladder cancer spreads

Bladder cancer refers to a malignant tumor originating from the bladder, which is a large number of abnormal cells that proliferate without control. The most common bladder cancer cells originate from the mucosal epidermis of the inner surface of the bladder. The main risk factor for bladder cancer is genetic influence. In addition, people who smoke, have long-term contact with certain dyes, gasoline or other chemicals also have a higher risk. Like other cancers, bladder cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stages. When patients have obvious reactions, most of them are already in the late stage of bladder cancer and have already metastasized. So how long can you live after bladder cancer spreads?

The metastatic pathways of bladder tumors include lymphatic, bloodstream, direct spread, and direct implantation of tumor cells. Lymphatic metastasis is the most common pathway. Bladder cancer can metastasize to the internal iliac, external iliac, and obturator lymph nodes, or to the common iliac lymph nodes. Some people point out that the internal iliac and obturator lymph nodes are the first lymph nodes for bladder cancer metastasis.

Metastasis through the blood is common in advanced cases, most commonly in the liver, followed by the lungs and bones. Skin, adrenal glands, kidneys, pancreas, heart, testicles, salivary glands, ovaries, muscles and gastrointestinal tract have all been reported, but they are in the minority. Direct spread often occurs in the prostate or posterior urethra. Bladder cancer can extend outside the bladder and adhere to the pelvic cavity to form a fixed mass, or spread to the mucosa at the top of the bladder.

Direct implantation of tumor cells can occur during surgery, with masses forming at the bladder incision or under the skin incision after surgery. The recurrence of tumors in the bladder or the appearance of multiple tumors is also partly due to the implantation of tumor cells. The appearance of tumors in the urethral stump after radical cystectomy may also be the result of surgical implantation. After surgical resection, the tumor tissue can be quickly removed and the effect is fast, but it cannot eradicate tumor cells, and is prone to metastasis and recurrence, causing the metastasis and spread of tumor cells, aggravating the patient's condition; radiotherapy and chemotherapy can reduce the tumor cell load locally or systemically and are fast-acting, but they cannot eradicate tumor cells, are prone to metastasis and recurrence, have large systemic toxic side effects, and are very likely to produce side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and loss of appetite, causing damage to the human immune function and bringing a heavy blow to the physical and mental health of bladder cancer patients. So, is there a better treatment for the metastasis of bladder cancer?

The "DC+CIK tumor biotherapy" technology collects mononuclear cells from the patient's peripheral blood and sends them to a special GMP clean laboratory for in vitro culture and induction to obtain mature DC cells with the ability to recognize tumor cells and more numerous, more active and lethal CIK cells. These two cells are then infused back into the patient's body eight times, using the body's own cells to kill tumor cells, enhance the body's immune function, inhibit tumor cell growth, metastasis, recurrence and continued deterioration of advanced tumor cells; enhance the sensitivity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, reduce immune function damage, and effectively remove residual tumor cells after surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. It has no toxic side effects and has relieved countless cancer patients of their pain and brought good news of health! This therapy can effectively treat the spread and metastasis of bladder cancer, quickly relieve the patient's condition, and achieve the purpose of prolonging the patient's survival and improving the quality of life!

The above is the knowledge that experts introduce to us about bladder cancer. After the bladder cancer examination, it is best to rule out the possibility of bladder cancer. If it is confirmed, don't panic. The current medical level is still quite sensitive to the treatment of early bladder cancer. The key is early diagnosis to avoid delaying the treatment opportunity.
