summary

A friend I know got bladder cancer at the age of 40. When it was found out, it was already in the late stage. Although the operation was carried out, the effect seemed not very good. There were bleeding symptoms all the time. In order to let more people understand, I would like to popularize the best treatment plan for bladder cancer.

The best treatment for bladder cancer

First, the treatment of bladder cancer is generally divided into two types: surgical treatment and conservative treatment. At present, most of them take surgical treatment, postoperative perfusion (retaining the bladder) or systemic chemotherapy (total cystectomy) to prevent recurrence. Conservative treatment is chemotherapy and radiotherapy in western medicine. Most of bladder cancer is transitional cell carcinoma, which is not sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and has great side effects.

Second, palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy can reduce the symptoms and prolong the survival time of advanced invasive carcinoma of bladder. The recurrence rate of bladder tumor is 80%. The 5-year survival rate of superficial well differentiated bladder tumors was 80% and that of poorly differentiated bladder tumors was only 40%. The 5-year survival rate of invasive tumor after total cystectomy was 16% - 48%.

Third: bladder cancer patients with physical failure, will further stimulate the increase in the recurrence rate, so it is recommended that patients in chemoradiotherapy at the same time, pay attention to improve their physical function, and pay attention to improve the side effects of chemoradiotherapy, diet can have a choice to eat more food that can enhance immunity, such as job's tears, yam, eel, turtle, oyster, also can use selenium Weikang chewable tablets do a good job of biological selenium conditioning.

matters needing attention

The number of days of radiotherapy for bladder cancer depends on the patient's condition, which is not certain. Therefore, the family members of the patients should communicate with the doctor more in the specific situation, so as to better understand the patient's condition and achieve better rehabilitation effect.
