The latest treatment of bladder cancer

Treatment 1: local resection and electrocautery, mostly through cystoscope. It is suitable for bladder papilloma with low malignant degree and thin base, which only infiltrates mucosa or submucosa. This is a treatment for bladder cancer.

Treatment 2: chemotherapy is mainly through intraluminal infusion chemotherapy and inferior epigastric artery intubation chemotherapy. The drug liquid directly acts on tumor cells, and the side effects are much lighter than systemic medication. Advanced patients may need systemic medication, which is also the treatment of bladder cancer.

Treatment method 3: radiotherapy for bladder cancer includes external radiotherapy and internal radiotherapy, but the effect of radiotherapy as a single treatment for bladder cancer is not ideal. At present, it is mainly used for palliative treatment of patients with advanced cancer, or adjuvant treatment of patients with surgery and chemotherapy.
