How does bladder cancer develop

Bladder cancer ranks fourth among all male cancers and ninth among all female cancers. There are a large number of new male and female bladder cancer patients every year. In some Western countries, the incidence of this disease ranks second among male cancers, only after prostate cancer. This shows how widespread this disease is. How is bladder cancer formed? Some friends still don't know why they get bladder cancer. Let's briefly introduce its causes.

In our country, there are about 100,000 patients who have been examined and registered for bladder cancer. Among malignant tumors, this disease ranks about ninth in our country. This disease is possible at any age, and with the continuous development and progress of inspection technology over the years, a considerable number of children have also been diagnosed with this disease. The high-incidence age group for this disease is 50 to 70 years old, and the risk of men is about 3 to 4 times higher than that of women on average. The specific cause of this disease is not very clear at present, but there are several risk factors that can be shared with you.

For example, smoking and long-term exposure to industrial chemicals may cause a gene mutation in the patient's bladder. When the gene mutates, the protein regulated by this gene will be synthesized in large quantities without control, and the final result is the uncontrolled proliferation of cells, which eventually forms bladder cancer. Although bladder cancer is not a genetic disease, but a disease caused by gene mutation. However, statistics have found that if one of the immediate family members suffers from bladder cancer, the possibility of other relatives suffering from this cancer is relatively high.

Here is a brief introduction to how bladder cancer is formed. This disease is relatively common among malignant tumors. After contracting the disease, it can cause painless hematuria, and also make patients susceptible to urinary tract infections, or cause sudden interruptions in urination. And after suffering from this disease, the possibility of prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia is greater. Therefore, it is recommended that patients must actively seek treatment, treat early, and use scientific and effective methods for treatment, so that bladder cancer can be cured.
