What are the symptoms of male bladder cancer

Hematuria does not refer to hematuria that can be seen with the naked eye, but a little bleeding caused by early bladder cancer. The blood is mixed in the urine. Only under a microscope can red blood cells be found in the urine, and it is difficult to distinguish the bright red color of urine with the naked eye. When the urine is found to be bright red, it is not an early manifestation, but may have entered the middle or even late stage. We can also detect it early through some examinations, so some measures need to be taken for early treatment. There are no specific symptoms in the early stage of male bladder cancer, so it is difficult to detect bladder cancer in the early stage. Patients may show: frequent urination, which is manifested as increased frequency of urination, but many diseases can show frequent urination, such as male prostate hyperplasia, prostatitis, or the natural decrease in bladder capacity after aging, which can also show physiological frequent urination, so it is difficult to further examine and find prostate cancer through frequent urination. The most common symptoms of male bladder cancer are intermittent painless gross hematuria or microscopic hematuria. Advanced bladder cancer can also cause pain and discomfort in the suprapubic bladder area.

High-grade bladder cancer life expectancy

In principle, the higher the level of bladder cancer, the more malignant it is. For high-grade bladder cancer, if it infiltrates into the muscle layer, it is also a bladder cancer with a relatively good prognosis, and the 5-year effective survival rate after surgery is more than 80%. There are also some people, about 1/4 of the patients, who initially show repeated recurrences of bladder tumors and progress to mid-term bladder tumors. Some patients even show metastatic bladder cancer at the beginning, and these tumors are serious. The specific survival time of patients with high-grade bladder cancer still depends on the specific type of bladder cancer.

What is the prognosis for bladder cancer?

The five-year survival rate is usually used to evaluate the prognosis of malignant tumors. If the bladder cancer does not infiltrate the bladder muscle layer, the patient's five-year survival rate can reach 91.9%, and the five-year survival rate of bladder cancer patients who invade the muscle layer will drop to 84.3%. If the bladder cancer invades the mucosal layer, the five-year survival rate can usually reach more than 90%. However, the recurrence and metastasis rates of cancer within 5 years are relatively high, so if patients with bladder cancer want to survive for 5 years, they can only achieve this through active anti-tumor treatment.
