How to treat bladder cancer?

After the diagnosis of bladder cancer, surgical treatment is the main method, and the surgical method depends on the size, location and infiltration depth of the tumor. Superficial and small tumors can be resected and cauterized by urethra. Partial cystectomy is feasible when the infiltration of a single tumor is deep; Total cystectomy can be used for tumors with deep infiltration and wide distribution, but this operation needs to rebuild the bladder (a segment of ileum replaces the bladder, the upper end is sutured to the ureter, and the lower end is opened to the abdominal wall to let urine flow into the urine bag).

Bladder cancer recurs frequently after transurethral resection or partial cystectomy, so patients are followed up every 3 months/kloc-0 times (urine is sent for cancer cells and bladder). Resection of recurrent small tumor by high frequency electrocautery under cystoscope. If it doesn't recur in one year, it can be extended to a review once every six months.

After the surgical wound is healed, chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, camptothecin, mitomycin and adriamycin can be infused into the bladder. , effectively prevent recurrence. Immunological agents such as interferon and interleukin II can also be infused. Chemotherapy drugs and immune agents can also be used at the same time. Perfusion therapy must be continuous.
