How long can you live with advanced bladder cancer? Master the correct treatment to extend the survival period of bladder cancer

In the early stages of bladder cancer, patients may occasionally feel uncomfortable in the bladder area, which is likely to be an early symptom of bladder cancer. However, many people do not pay much attention to similar symptoms in the early stages of bladder cancer. Some people even think that these are their own illusions. When the symptoms of bladder cancer become obvious, they go to the hospital and find out that they have bladder cancer, but at this time it is already in the late stage of bladder cancer. We, patients with advanced bladder cancer, all want to know about the treatment effect of bladder cancer. So, how long can patients with advanced bladder cancer live? How to master the correct treatment to prolong the survival period of bladder cancer? Let's have a simple understanding and knowledge of this issue.

For patients in the early stages of bladder cancer, most patients can generally achieve a cure as long as they can undergo surgical resection in time. However, most bladder cancer patients are already in the late stage when they receive treatment. At this time, bladder cancer has already spread and metastasized. If surgery is still used for treatment, the effect is not very obvious, and recurrence may occur.

At this time, patients cannot use surgery alone to treat bladder cancer, but should adopt a combination of treatments. Usually, surgery is combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, because cancer cells cannot be completely eliminated after surgery. At this time, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are needed to completely eliminate the remaining bladder cancer cells in order to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer. This will improve the treatment effect of patients with advanced bladder cancer and prolong the life of patients.

How long can patients with advanced bladder cancer live? Mastering the correct treatment can extend the survival period of bladder cancer? It is impossible to determine how long patients can survive when bladder cancer reaches the advanced stage. However, as long as we can choose the right treatment plan, I believe that the life span of patients with advanced bladder cancer can still be extended, and some patients may even have the hope of being cured.
