Is surgery necessary for bladder cancer?

The standard treatment for non-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma should first be transurethral bladder tumor resection, followed by intravesical instillation to prevent recurrence. Invasive bladder cancer should first be treated surgically and with preoperative radiotherapy, and systemic chemotherapy after surgery will be administered based on whether the extra-bladder fat is invaded and whether there is a tumor in the blood vessel. Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system. If it is found to be in the early stages of bladder cancer, it is recommended to have surgical treatment, remove the lesion, and perform chemotherapy to control the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. If bladder cancer is confirmed, surgical treatment should be considered if there is an opportunity for surgery, but if there are some contraindications, surgery cannot be performed, such as old age, certain underlying diseases, or metastasis, then surgical treatment is not recommended.
