In China, the incidence of bladder cancer is the eighth most common tumor in men and the twelfth most common in women, although the incidence is much lower than in Western countries, such as Europe, where the incidence of bladder cancer in men is the fourth highest. Also, bladder cancer can occur at any age, even in children. The earlier bladder cancer is treated, the better the chance of recovery.
Smoking for more than 10 years increases the risk of bladder cancer by 8 to 10 times Smoking is one of the highest risk factors for bladder cancer, and about one-third of bladder cancers are associated with smoking. Cigarettes contain a variety of toxic carcinogens such as nicotine, tar, tobacco – specific sublingual amines, etc. People who smoke for a long time have a higher concentration of carcinogens in their urine, which leads to a high incidence of bladder cancer. According to relevant data, the risk of bladder cancer for people who smoke is twice that of non-smokers. People who have smoked for more than 10 years and have more than 20 cigarettes a day have an 8 to 10 times higher risk of bladder cancer.
The main bad habits that trigger bladder cancer are the following: first, smoking; second, not drinking water may also lead to bladder cancer; in addition, bad habits that lead to bladder cancer include holding urine frequently.
Occupational factors are also a major factor leading to bladder cancer. People engaged in the following occupations are prone to bladder cancer: dye, textile, rubber, paint, truck driver, chemical, oil, hairdresser, aluminum factory, etc. The age of onset of bladder cancer is mostly middle-aged and elderly, and its onset is related to exposure to chemical carcinogens such as 2-tetramine (which is contained in tobacco) and benzidine.
Stopping painless hematuria does not mean that the disease is cured Many patients think that stopping painless hematuria means that the disease is cured, this concept is wrong. If the cancer cells invade the bladder triangle, bladder irritation may appear earlier. If hematuria occurs with obvious painful urination, it is not early stage and most of them are advanced bladder cancer. Patients should pay special attention to painless hematuria and go to hospital to determine the cause in time.
If unexplained hematuria occurs suddenly, it may be a sign of bladder cancer symptoms, but there is no need to worry too much about it or other urinary diseases. At present, cystoscopy is the most reliable diagnostic method for bladder cancer diagnosis. Through cystoscopy, the specific location, size and shape of bladder tumor can be directly observed, while biopsy can be taken for pathological diagnosis. In addition, ultrasound and CT examination are also of great value in the examination of bladder tumors; urine exfoliative cell examination is mostly used for tumors that cannot be detected by naked eyes and for monitoring recurrence after surgery.
Ninety percent of advanced bladder cancer patients are evolved from early delay Ninety percent of advanced bladder cancer patients are evolved from patient delay, many early bladder cancer patients develop painless hematuria, but many patients just treat hematuria, some patients disappear within a few days without consultation and detailed urological examination, in the long term, bladder cancer evolves from early stage to advanced bladder cancer, so painless hematuria needs Therefore, painless hematuria needs to be taken very seriously and the cause must be diagnosed in hospital in time.
Minimally invasive surgery: small incision and fast recovery Minimally invasive treatment for urological tumors has two major advantages: 1.
Bladder cancer is not allowed to smoke and drink, and should eat spicy food as little as possible Bladder cancer should not smoke and drink, and should eat spicy food as little as possible. For patients with bladder cancer, in terms of daily diet, they should eat more fruits and vegetables, especially cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, radish, cabbage, oleander, capers and fresh fruits such as kiwi, fig, banana and jujube.
