How long can you live with bladder cancer?

The incidence of bladder cancer is very high in our lives. Many people think that they will not live long after suffering from bladder cancer. In fact, this idea is wrong. Some people may have a question, which is how long can bladder cancer be diagnosed? In fact, there is no accurate answer to this question, because it depends on the patient's constitution and condition. If you want to know more, please read on.

Bladder cancer is actually not as pessimistic as everyone thinks. Patients must have a positive attitude towards resisting the disease, otherwise the disease will easily break down their psychological defenses. A positive attitude can also be helpful in treatment.

It is related to the patient's physical function. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors is extremely important for bladder cancer patients, especially those in the middle and late stages.

It is related to the treatment method chosen. If surgical treatment is chosen, the recurrence rate within two years is higher, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy will bring great pain to the patient. It is still necessary to cooperate with Chinese medicine treatment. For example, the ginsenoside rh2 product Jinxiong Capsule is very effective in reducing the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The main treatments are:

1. Radiotherapy

Bladder radiation therapy is often performed before or after surgery. For patients in the advanced stage of the disease, who have missed the opportunity for surgery or refuse surgery, or who have relapsed after surgery, palliative radiotherapy can also achieve certain therapeutic effects.

1. Surgical treatment

Surgery is the main method for treating bladder cancer. The specific scope and method of surgery should be determined based on a comprehensive analysis of the tumor's stage, malignancy, pathological type, size, location, and involvement of adjacent organs.

3. Interventional radiotherapy

Interventional radiology therapy refers to the use of radiological technology to inject drugs directly into the tumor's blood vessels through a catheter, thereby killing tumor cells. This method can also be used for patients with stage II-IV bladder cancer to shrink tumor lesions, increase surgical resection rates, and reduce recurrence rates.

(IV) Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy for bladder cancer includes intravesical instillation chemotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy, etc. The main types of chemotherapy are:

1. Intravesical chemotherapy is suitable for patients at all stages, especially for superficial tumors in stages 0-I. It does not have a good therapeutic effect on other lesions with deep infiltration, but it still has a therapeutic effect on those with superficial lesions.

2. Combined systemic chemotherapy Combined systemic chemotherapy can increase the surgical resection rate and improve the comprehensive treatment effect of bladder cancer.

The above is information explaining how long one can live with bladder cancer. I believe everyone will understand the answer to this question after reading it. In fact, many people, after suffering from some serious illnesses, will care more about how long they can live. Such emotions are not good for treatment. You must have a good attitude to accept treatment.
