The development of bladder cancer to the advanced stage needs to be based on the tumor’s staging, malignant degree, treatment, and individual’s physical condition, and there is no clear time definition.
Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the bladder mucosa and is the most common tumor of the urinary system. There are many types of pathology, including bladder uroepithelial carcinoma, squamous bladder, and small cell carcinoma of the bladder. Bladder uroepithelial carcinoma is further divided into non-muscle layer and muscle layer invasive uroepithelial carcinoma. There are many types of bladder cancer, coupled with the fact that patients have different levels of acceptance of treatment, so there is no exact time.
When bladder cancer is found, it is recommended to actively go to regular hospitals for consultation and treatment. For example, patients with muscle layer invasive uroepithelial carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are mostly treated with total cystectomy, while some of them can be treated with partial resection or chemotherapy plus surgery, all of which can have good therapeutic effect.
