How bladder cancer spreads

After bladder cancer progresses further, it first penetrates the muscle layer of the bladder and spreads directly to the pelvic wall, causing pelvic wall metastasis and pain. It can also extend along the bladder neck into the urethra, causing urethral metastatic cancer. Hematogenous metastasis tumor cells enter the blood circulation and spread along the blood to various organs of the body. Common metastases include lung metastasis, liver metastasis, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, etc., and metastasis to these parts can cause clinical symptoms in the corresponding parts. For example, if it metastasizes to the lungs, symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough may occur. The spread of bladder cancer is consistent with other solid tumors, mainly through three ways: direct infiltration and spread.

What are the dangers of having bladder cancer?

If bladder cancer is not treated in time, it may cause the above-mentioned hazards. The causes of bladder cancer introduced above should be taken seriously. In short, the impact on the body is still relatively large, so patients should go to the hospital for examination in time before they find symptoms of bladder cancer in their lives, and take appropriate treatment measures to prevent bladder cancer. Bladder fibrosis mainly reduces bladder capacity and even ureteral urine reflux, causing renal edema and kidney inflammation. Bladder cancer patients will have double the pain when urinating. The terrible thing is that the pain may be located in the urethral orifice and perineum, and the pain will not ease until after urination. In life, there are more and more bladder cancer patients around us, and the harm caused is also very great.
