i take antibiotics but cant get rid of bladder infections could this lead to bladder cancer?
The treatments for bladder cancer depend on the stage of bladder cancer. Briefly, I break it down into two different stages. The first is what we call “”superficial bladder cancer”"–a small growth in the lining of the bladder that hasn’t grown into the muscle layer of the bladder. Usually this is treated–first we have to diagnose the problem, so we usually look into the bladder with a cystoscope, and we find out if there are bladder tumors .If there are bladder tumors, we either biopsy them or scrape them using a transurethral recession, done with a telescope through the urethra. We scrape the tumor to get staging–how deep it’s gone into the muscle. It’s also curative for those people who have superficial cancer. That one procedure, if it is confined, will be the treatment. Many patients, when they present, will have more than one tumor or a poorly differentiated tumor. Some of those will require some treatments like therapies in the bladder, similar to chemotherapy, but not really chemotherapy–it’s called immunotherapy. We place a small catheter in the bladder and still fluid into the bladder that causes inflammatory changes. The body’s response to that is to attack the lining of the bladder and wipe out all residual cancer cells. We usually do that once a week for about six weeks, and it is dependent on what type of cancer patients have. It doesn’t make people sick, like traditional chemotherapy. It may make them have worsening urinary frequency, or some burning …
