Urinary Bladder Cancer – Treatment Approach

Urinary bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting the urinary system. Early detection and proper treatment are crucial for achieving the best outcomes. According to Dr. Uday Chandankhede, leading Urologist and Uro-Oncologist in Baner, Pune, every patient requires a personalized treatment plan depending on the stage, grade, and overall health condition.

Understanding Urinary Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer develops when abnormal cells in the bladder start growing uncontrollably. The most common type is urothelial carcinoma, but other types such as squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma can also occur. Common symptoms include:

Blood in urine (hematuria)

Frequent urination

Painful urination

Pelvic or back pain (in advanced stages)

If you notice these symptoms, timely consultation with a urologist is essential.

Treatment Approach for Bladder Cancer

1. Diagnosis & Staging

Accurate diagnosis is the first step. Dr. Chandankhede uses advanced diagnostic tools like:

Urine tests and cytology

Cystoscopy (camera-based bladder examination)

Imaging scans (CT, MRI, Ultrasound)

Biopsy for confirmation

Staging helps determine whether the cancer is superficial (confined to the bladder lining) or muscle-invasive.

2. Treatment Options

a) Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT): A minimally invasive surgery where tumors are removed through cystoscopy.

Intravesical Therapy: After surgery, medications like BCG or chemotherapy are delivered directly into the bladder to reduce recurrence risk.

b) Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC)

Radical Cystectomy: Surgical removal of the bladder along with surrounding tissues, often followed by urinary reconstruction.

Chemotherapy & Immunotherapy: Used before or after surgery to improve survival rates and control cancer spread.

Radiation Therapy: In select cases, especially when surgery is not an option.

c) Advanced/Metastatic Bladder Cancer

Systemic Chemotherapy

Targeted Therapy

Immunotherapy (Checkpoint inhibitors) – a modern approach that strengthens the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells.

3. Follow-Up & Monitoring

Even after treatment, bladder cancer has a tendency to recur. Hence, regular follow-ups with cystoscopy and imaging are important to ensure long-term health.
