Bladder cancer - symptoms and prognosis
Bladder cancer is an oncological disease in which a malignant neoplasm occurs on the wall and /or mucous membrane of the organ. More often, oncology of the ureter is diagnosed in men. Persons aged 40 to 60 years are at particular risk.
Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after special diagnostics, including cytological analysis, ultrasound, abdominal CT. But the disease can be suspected in the event of the appearance of blood in the urine, swelling of the external genitalia, difficult and painful urination, pain in the pelvis and abdomen.
Oncology of the bladder is a fairly common pathology. In addition to genetic predisposition, congenital defects of the urethra, inflammatory or parasitic diseases, and the habit of retaining urine can serve as risk factors.
With adequate therapy, the chances of a complete cure and survival of patients with this type of oncology are quite high - about 90%. The main thing is to get diagnosed in time and start an anti-cancer course. In matters of treatment of diseases such as bladder cancer, Israel is one of the world leaders. The cost of the services of Israeli specialists is lower than the prices in Western cancer centers, and during therapy they use unique innovative methods that are not available in most hospitals in the world.
