summary

The incidence rate of bladder cancer is only second, but ranked first in the country. The incidence rate of this disease is relatively low compared with other common cancers. However, if you have bladder cancer, you need to pay attention to the development of the disease at any time, so that you can cooperate with the doctor for treatment and achieve better therapeutic effect. Let's talk about the symptoms of bladder cancer metastasis.

Symptoms of bladder cancer metastasis

1. Direct invasive bladder cancer can directly infiltrate and metastasize to adjacent tissues around the bladder. Cancer cells penetrate the basement membrane and enter the submucosa, and often infiltrate into the muscle layer, extravesical fat and even the outer peritoneum. Advanced bladder cancer may have peripelvic invasion or distant metastasis. When the tumor infiltrates into the posterior urethra, prostate and rectum, the corresponding symptoms of bladder cancer metastasis will appear. When the tumor is located at one side of the ureteral orifice, ureteral infiltration may result in unilateral ureteral dilatation and hydronephrosis.

2. Hematogenous metastasis in the metastatic symptoms of bladder cancer often occurs in the late stage. After the tumor invades the blood vessels, tumor cells enter the blood, which can cause the metastasis of bladder cancer in liver, lung, bone and other places.

3. Lymphatic metastasis is the most common symptom of bladder cancer metastasis. First, through the muscular lymphatic vessels, when the tumor invaded the lymphatic vessels of bladder wall, some cases had pelvic lymph node metastasis. If the tumor had extended to three adipose tissues in the bladder wall, almost all pelvic lymph nodes metastasized and might have developed to para aortic lymph nodes.

matters needing attention

Bladder cancer is a very common systemic malignant tumor. With the change of the disease, there will be some signs of metastasis. When the bladder cancer has metastasis, it indicates poor prognosis, so it must be treated early.
