Bladder cancer treatment is determined by the type, stage and general health of the disease. Treatment options may include:
- Surgery: Bladder surgery to remove cancerous tissue.
- Intravesical therapy: Use of drugs that are delivered directly into the bladder (usually chemotherapy or immunotherapy).
- Radiotherapy: The destruction of cancer cells by radiation.
- Chemotherapy: Drugs that slow down or destroy the growth of cancer cells.
- Immunotherapy: Destroying cancer cells by stimulating immune system cells against cancer cells.
Bladder cancer treatment is usually administered as a combination of these treatments. The treatment plan is determined by the type, stage and general health of the patient. In addition, pain relievers, antiemetics (anti-vomiting drugs) and other supportive treatments can be used to control symptoms during treatment.
Bladder cancer treatment is performed by a physician and is managed by a urology/oncology specialist according to the type and stage of the disease. You can contact us for more information about all relevant treatment options and outcomes.
