Patients with advanced bladder cancer often experience symptoms such as fatigue and poor spirits in the late stage, which is related to tumor consumption. Multicellular immunotherapy can be used for auxiliary treatment in the late stage.

The pain in the late stage of cancer is obvious and the sleep quality is poor, so there will be no drowsiness in the late stage of cancer. The drowsiness of advanced bladder cancer is related to the patient's body.

How often should I have a follow-up examination after bladder cancer surgery?

Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor of the bladder. Generally, it is necessary to pay attention to regular follow-up after surgery. It is generally recommended to have a follow-up every three months. During the follow-up, imaging examinations can be used to understand the local situation. If necessary, cystoscopy can be used to confirm the diagnosis. The follow-up after radical cystectomy includes laboratory tests, blood routine, blood biochemistry, chest CT, pelvic CT, whole abdominal CT, etc. If conditions permit, it is best to have a follow-up every three months.

Can early bladder cancer be cured?

For patients with early bladder cancer, after a clear clinical diagnosis, transurethral endoscopic cystectomy can be considered, followed by bladder instillation chemotherapy to reduce the chance of tumor recurrence. The possibility of clinical cure is relatively large, and the patient's 5-year survival rate is high. During treatment, you should maintain a happy mood and supplement with high-protein and high-fiber foods to achieve the auxiliary effect of diet therapy, which can effectively alleviate the disease. Early bladder cancer means that the tumor has not invaded the muscle layer and is generally in the submucosal layer of the bladder, which is in a relatively superficial situation.
