Bladder cancer is a common yet often overlooked urological cancer. It usually begins in the urothelial cells that line the inside of the bladder. Although treatable when detected early, many cases go unnoticed due to subtle symptoms.
At Dr. Saurabh Mishra Urology Care, we stress early detection to maximize treatment success and guarantee better long-term outcomes.
Silent Symptoms You Should Watch For
Bladder cancer often does not cause significant pain or discomfort in its early stages. Some of the early warning signs include:
- Blood in urine (hematuria), even if intermittent and painless
- Frequent urination without infection
- A strong, sudden urge to urinate
- Pain or burning during urination
- Lower abdominal or lower back pain
If you experience any of these symptoms, especially blood in urine, it’s important to seek immediate medical evaluation.
How to Detect Bladder Cancer Early
Early detection is key to effective bladder cancer treatment. Some of the recommended diagnostic methods include:
- Urinalysis and urine cytology to find abnormal cells
- Ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys
- Cystoscopy – direct visualization of the bladder lining using a thin camera
- CT urography for detailed imaging
- Bladder biopsy during cystoscopy if necessary
If bladder cancer is caught at an early stage, treatments can be highly successful with less invasive methods.
Advanced Treatment Options for Bladder Cancer
At Advanced Urology Care, Dr. Saurabh Mishra offers a range of modern treatments based on cancer stage and severity, like:
- TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor): Removal of tumors using an endoscopic method.
- Intravesical Therapy: Bladder-specific chemotherapy or immunotherapy (like BCG) to prevent recurrence.
- Radical or Partial Cystectomy: Surgical removal of part or all of the bladder in invasive cases.
- Bladder Reconstruction: Creating new ways for urine to exit the body if the bladder is removed.
Each treatment is personalized to offer the best possible outcome with minimal side effects.
