How long does it take for bladder cancer to develop

There is no time limit. The main clinical manifestations of bladder cancer are repeated hematuria or whole-course hematuria, or terminal hematuria, or blood clots, or urination disorders caused by urethral obstruction. Some patients do not have any abnormalities in physical examinations, but may develop symptoms of bladder cancer a few months later. There is no fixed saying about how long it takes for bladder cancer to develop, and it is impossible to generalize.

Surgical cure rate for early stage bladder cancer

At present, transurethral bladder tumor enucleation is more and more widely used, because this surgical method can remove the bladder tumor as a whole, can remove the tumor more cleanly, and can also reduce the recurrence rate of bladder cancer. It needs to be combined with bladder instillation chemotherapy after surgery. If the bladder tumor is single, with a diameter of less than 3cm, and it is a primary bladder cancer, then in this case, the recurrence rate of low-grade bladder cancer is about 20%. Generally speaking, the early cure rate of bladder cancer is still relatively high.

How long should I wait for follow-up examination after bladder cancer surgery?

After bladder preservation surgery, bladder instillation should be performed and cystoscopy should be performed every three months to determine whether the tumor has recurred; bladder cancer surgery requires a follow-up examination at the hospital one month later. The most important thing is that we should do regular cystoscopy review.
