How to diagnose bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is a very common malignant tumor disease in the urinary system. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly patients, and more common in men than women. The bladder is a very important part of our body. Once cancer occurs, it has a great impact on the human body. Therefore, understanding the diagnosis method of bladder cancer is very helpful for the treatment of patients. So what are the methods for diagnosing bladder cancer?

Cystoscopy is one of the most important methods for diagnosing bladder cancer. Through the examination, it is possible to know whether there is bladder cancer and the number, size, shape, and whether there is a pedicle and base of the cancer. Biopsy can also be performed randomly. Cystoscopy can be used for early diagnosis of bladder cancer and can also help to make preliminary plans for surgical treatment.

Cystography is also one of the diagnostic methods for bladder cancer, and partial cystography is the best method. This method can not only show the filling defect that the tumor should have, but also is very valuable in determining whether the tumor is invasive.

CT examination is mostly used to understand the severity of the disease. When bladder tumor tissue grows and metastasizes inside the cavity or outside the wall, CT can fully display the shape and size of the tumor.

Before bladder cancer recurs, there will usually be signs of nearby local lymph nodes. However, if distant metastasis occurs, and the disease not only invades the adjacent tissues, but also the patient's liver, lungs or bones, the patient will often have symptoms of lower abdominal discomfort and pain before the recurrence. Once these symptoms occur, the patient should be alert to the disease, because it is very likely that the disease has recurred. At this time, treatment should continue to avoid more serious harm after the disease worsens.

The above is an introduction to the diagnosis method of bladder cancer. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the diagnosis method of bladder cancer. When you find that you have bladder cancer, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease. I wish you and your family good health and a happy life.
