How long can bladder cancer live in early stage

summary

Recently, my uncle always said that he was not feeling well. We advised him to give up smoking and drinking for many times, but we had to take him to the hospital for physical examination. The doctor said that this is bladder cancer. Now let me tell you how long early bladder cancer can live.

How long can bladder cancer live in early stage

First, it depends on the state of the patient. Bladder cancer generally refers to all kinds of malignant tumors from the bladder, that is, abnormal cell proliferation without regulation. Bladder is a hollow organ for storing urine. Its outer wall is mainly composed of muscles and is located in the lower abdomen. The most common bladder cancer cells are from the inner surface of the bladder mucosa and epidermis, officially known as transitional cell carcinoma.

Second, the main symptom of bladder cancer is hematuria. Hematuria is mostly caused by tumor rupture and bleeding. Hematuria can be more or less. It can be seen with naked eye for a long time, and red blood cells can be seen only under microscope for a short time. Hematuria of bladder cancer is generally gross hematuria in the whole process, that is, the urine presents blood color in the whole process of micturition, and the color of urine deepens when micturition is about to end; it can also be the beginning of micturition and then the urine turns clear, or the beginning of micturition and then becomes hematuria.

Third: compared with hematuria caused by other diseases, hematuria of bladder cancer has two characteristics: one is painless, that is, when hematuria occurs, the patient does not have any pain and other discomfort symptoms, which is called painless hematuria in medicine. This is different from hematuria with kidney and ureter pain, and hematuria with frequency, urgency and pain caused by cystitis. But if cancer necrosis, ulcer and infection, can appear frequent urination, urgency, pain and other bladder irritation symptoms. The second is intermittence, that is, hematuria appears intermittently, which can be stopped or alleviated by itself. The interval between two hematuria can be several days or months, or even half a year. It is easy to cause the illusion that hematuria has been cured and improved, thus failing to seek medical examination in time.

matters needing attention

Many people talk about cancer, because, in the impression of many people, getting cancer is a dead end. This idea is wrong. Now not only western medicine is effective in treating cancer, but also traditional Chinese medicine is very effective. Therefore, patients with early cancer can live for a long time.
