[Opinion] Foods you'd better avoid with bladder cancer.
This vid lists those Foods you'd better avoid with bladder cancer.
i. Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of the bladder, which is the organ responsible for storing urine. It often begins in the innermost lining of the bladder and can spread to other parts of the bladder or to other areas of the body if not treated.
There are several types of bladder cancer, but the most common is transitional cell carcinoma (also known as urothelial carcinoma), which originates in the transitional cells lining the bladder. Other types include squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, though these are less common.
*Symptoms of bladder cancer can include:*
- Blood in the urine (hematuria)
- Frequent urination
- Painful urination
- Urgent need to urinate
- Lower abdominal pain
*Risk factors for bladder cancer include:*
- Smoking: It's a major risk factor as tobacco carcinogens are excreted in the urine and can damage the bladder lining.
- Chemical exposure: Certain industrial chemicals used in industries such as rubber and dye can increase risk.
- Age: Bladder cancer is more common in older adults.
- Gender: Men are more likely to develop bladder cancer than women.
- Chronic bladder irritation: Conditions like chronic cystitis or a history of bladder infections may increase risk.
*Diagnosis typically involves:*
- Urinalysis to check for blood or cancer cells in the urine
- Cystoscopy, a procedure where a thin tube with a camera is inserted into the bladder to look for tumors
- Biopsy, where a small tissue sample is taken from the bladder for examination
- Imaging tests, such as CT scans or MRIs, to determine the extent of the cancer
*Treatment options vary depending on the stage and grade of the cancer and can include:*
- Surgery to remove the tumor or, in more severe cases, part or all of the bladder
- Intravesical therapy, where medication is delivered directly into the bladder
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other therapies
- Immunotherapy to boost the body's natural defenses against cancer
Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes, so it's important to see a healthcare provider if any symptoms or risk factors are present.
