How long can you live with bladder cancer metastasis

Bladder cancer is a very dangerous disease, and it is the most common malignant tumor among urinary system diseases. The incidence of bladder cancer is very high. Many patients die of bladder cancer every year. Bladder cancer is also prone to metastasis, especially bone metastasis. If bone metastasis occurs, the patient will also have very obvious intermittent painless hematuria, and sometimes you can see hematuria with your naked eye. Even if bone metastasis occurs, the obvious symptom is bone pain, especially joint pain. Many patients are prone to fractures. Once a pathological fracture occurs, the patient should go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible, so that the doctor can take the best treatment to control the disease. In addition to surgical treatment, there is more disease knowledge that needs to be deeply understood and understood in the treatment of bladder cancer. For example, we should do a good job of perineal hygiene from different aspects, but for many malignant tumors, there will be metastasis or other situations. This requires us to actively consider different aspects and actively take care of and treat bladder cancer. There is a lot of knowledge about the management and treatment of bladder cancer, but patients still need to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle and receive treatment from different angles. What we also need to realize about the treatment of bladder cancer is the pain of the patient's condition. In addition, malignant tumors such as bladder cancer can be treated, but the specific living time still depends on the patient's specific situation, because only in this way can we make ourselves more comfortable and improve our knowledge and understanding of bladder cancer.

If the pathological examination results indicate the presence of high-risk recurrence factors, subsequent chemotherapy is needed to reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis. Some patients who undergo total cystectomy for bladder cancer need chemotherapy, while others do not.
