Interventional bladder cancer treatment In recent years, the incidence of bladder cancer is particularly high in China, and resection and radiotherapy are the common treatment methods for this disease, besides, there are also interventional therapies that can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer. Interventional therapy is a newly developed treatment modality that has a special role in the treatment of cancer. Some patients with bladder cancer are unfavorable for immediate surgery due to late detection and large tumor; some patients cannot have surgery due to other physical limitations; or some patients are unwilling to have surgery, they can use interventional therapy as an adjunctive treatment.
Interventional treatment of bladder cancer mainly involves infusion of chemotherapy drugs through bladder artery and super-selective embolization of tumor blood supply artery, also called percutaneous selective arterial intervention, which can kill cancer cells by increasing local drug concentration and embolization of tumor blood supply artery. Since the drug concentration is increased locally, it can not only improve the local efficacy but also reduce the systemic drug response.
