Recurrence and metastasis of bladder cancer?
When the cancer cells are mainly distributed around the bladder mucosa, they generally belong to non muscle invasive bladder cancer and are relatively early bladder cancer. For this type of bladder cancer can choose transurethral resection of bladder tumor, although this treatment has a certain recurrence rate, but can use bladder perfusion chemotherapy to assist, in order to effectively prevent postoperative recurrence.
If the distribution of cancer cells has reached the muscle layer of the bladder, it belongs to muscle invasive bladder cancer. This type of bladder cancer is more prone to metastasis. Therefore, the need for total cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection, the only way to minimize the risk of metastasis. It should be noted that this treatment method will face the problem of urinary diversion. At present, ileal bladder or orthotopic neobladder is often used to solve the problem.
If the cancer cells still have metastasis after total cystectomy, it will develop into metastatic bladder cancer, which belongs to advanced bladder cancer. Of course, some patients belong to metastatic bladder cancer at the beginning. In the face of this type of bladder cancer, the main treatment is only systemic chemotherapy at present, in order to prolong life as much as possible.
