Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that develops from cells inside the bladder. The bladder is a pouch-like organ in the lower part of the abdomen that temporarily stores urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several types of bladder cancer, the most common being transitional epithelial cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transitional epithelial carcinomas arise from cells lining the inner wall of the bladder. The majority of bladder cancers fall into this type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other types: Leiomyosarcoma, squamous cell carcinoma, etc., but these are relatively rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Causes and risk factors for bladder cancer include smoking, chemical exposure (e.g., chemicals used in the dye, rubber, and leather industries), long-term bladder infection or inflammation, congenital bladder abnormalities, advanced age, and being male.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Symptoms of bladder cancer include bloody urine (clear or fine), frequent urination, pain during urination, and back or bone pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bladder cancer is diagnosed by urinalysis, cystoscopy (cystoscopy), and imaging tests (CT, MRI, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Surgery used for early-stage bladder cancer. Using a cystoscope, the tumor is removed from the bladder wall. Usually a small amount of normal tissue surrounding the tumor is also removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surgery to remove part of the bladder. It is performed when the disease is not advanced but TURBT alone is not sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surgery to remove the entire bladder. It is used to treat advanced bladder cancer. After this surgery, the method of urinary drainage must be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A procedure that uses radiation to destroy or damage cancer cells. Usually used before or after surgery or when surgery is difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be administered systemically (e.g., intravenously) or directly (e.g., intravesical infusion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A treatment that uses drugs that act on specific cancer cell molecules or genes. This allows the cancer cells to be attacked with minimal impact on normal cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surgery to reconstruct the method of urinary drainage after total cystectomy. Several methods are available, selected according to the patient’s condition and desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n These treatments may be administered alone or in combination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that develops from cells inside the bladder.
