How to prolong the life of advanced bladder cancer

summary

One of my colleagues in the office suffered from bladder cancer, which is still very serious. Then the doctor advised him to do chemotherapy several times a week. He always had a lot of abnormalities after chemotherapy, such as diarrhea, nausea and so on. Next, I'd like to talk about how advanced bladder cancer can prolong life.

How to prolong the life of advanced bladder cancer

First, survival depends on the pathological grade and stage, as well as timely and appropriate treatment. The curative effect of non muscle invasive bladder cancer is different from that of muscle invasive bladder cancer. The former is superficial bladder cancer, with good curative effect and long survival period, 10 years, 20 years or even indefinite, which can be the same as that of normal people; the latter needs to take appropriate surgical methods (secondary resection or total cystectomy and lymph node dissection) and chemotherapy, timely and thorough treatment It can also survive for a long time.

Second: bladder cancer is generally treated by surgery, but the recurrence rate of surgery in two years is high, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy bring great pain to patients, which can be alleviated to a certain extent with the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. For the problem of how long can bladder cancer survive after treatment, doctors can only conservatively tell patients that there is a 5-year survival rate for bladder cancer patients.

Third: in addition to treatment, there are many factors that affect how long bladder cancer can live: the patient's own body, mentality, usual diet and living habits, etc. Postoperative care is also an important factor. Close observation of the patient's condition, prevention and early detection of bleeding and shock. Connect wound drainage tube, cystostomy tube and ureteral drainage tube, mark them and fix them properly to prevent displacement, falling into the body or prolapse. Make clear the access and function of all kinds of tubes. Do not connect them wrongly, do not press or twist the tubes, and keep them unobstructed.

matters needing attention

Therefore, bladder cancer patients after surgery pay attention to recuperation, more rest, not tired, keep a happy mood, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment after surgery. Eat more vegetables and fruits on the diet, not too much, will increase the burden of the body. Do the appropriate exercise, will naturally live for a long time.
