Reasons why bladder cancer is inoperable

Inoperable bladder cancer may be inoperable due to late tumor staging or the patient’s own reasons for not being able to tolerate surgery. Common surgical methods for bladder cancer are local excision of tumor and radical cystectomy, which are generally applicable to patients with no metastasis or metastatic foci confined to the neighboring organs around the bladder, and can be excised cleanly at one time. For patients who have distant metastasis and the tumor is in the terminal stage, resulting in patients not being able to tolerate surgery, surgery is not possible at this time, and other treatment options such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be chosen. In addition, due to the patient’s own reasons, such as recent heart attack, cerebral infarction and other serious cardiovascular and cerebral vascular accidents; uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus; severe anemia, respiratory failure and other serious basic diseases of the patient, the assessment of the inability to tolerate the operation and anesthesia, can also not be operated. Patients with bladder cancer need to seek timely medical examination and early treatment.
