Patients with bladder cancer can receive one of four treatments which include surgery, chemotherapy, intravenous chemotherapy or immunotherapy for superficial tumors, and radiation therapy.
Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that develops when the cells in the urinary bladder grow out of control and generate DNA alterations. Cancer is most commonly found in the urothelial cells that form barrier lines around the bladder’s inner surface. When cancer spreads through the layers of the bladder wall and reaches the innermost lining, it becomes tough to treat. The bladder is a portion of your urinary system that filters waste from your blood and excretes it in the form of urine.
Cervical cancer is mostly associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Examining the inside of your bladder with a scope (cystoscopy)
A thin, narrow tube (cystoscope) is inserted into your urethra to perform cystoscopy. The cystoscope contains a lens that allows the doctor to check the inside of your urethra and bladder for symptoms of the disease.
A special tool is used to enter the bladder and collect a sample (biopsy) for testing during cystoscopy. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor is another name for this procedure (TURBT), which can also be used to treat bladder cancer.
Transurethral resection (TURBT) is a treatment that involves inserting a telescope into the bladder and scraping the tumour from the bladder wall (a portion of the bladder wall is removed with it). This treatment can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis might be the next step for some individuals with invasive cancer to see if the disease has gone beyond the bladder.

Combinations of these treatments are sometimes employed.
Bladder cancer is commonly treated with surgery. While the type of surgery required will be determined by the stage of cancer. Transurethral resection of the bladder is most commonly done for early-stage illnesses. A partial cystectomy occurs when a piece of the bladder is removed.
Radical cystectomy is a complete removal of the bladder. Because the bladder is removed, a procedure called a urinary diversion must be done so that urine can exit the body. A pouch constructed of an intestine may be made inside the body, or a leak-proof bag worn outside the body may be used to collect urine.
