What is Urinary Bladder Cancer?

Bladder cancer develops in the cells of the urinary bladder, the organ responsible for storing urine. It is one of the most common urological cancers, especially in men over the age of 50. The majority of bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas (urothelial carcinoma), while less common types include squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
Early symptoms often include blood in urine (hematuria), frequent urination, burning or pain during urination, and pelvic discomfort. Because symptoms may resemble urinary infections, many cases are diagnosed late. Regular check-ups and early detection play a vital role in successful treatment.

Urinary Bladder Cancer Treatment in Ahmedabad

Dr. Nitin Singhal offers comprehensive bladder cancer treatment in Ahmedabad, carefully tailored to the stage and type of cancer to achieve the best outcomes. Surgical options include Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) for early-stage tumors, partial cystectomy to remove part of the bladder in select cases, and radical cystectomy with urinary diversion or bladder reconstruction for advanced cases. He also specializes in robotic and minimally invasive surgeries, ensuring precision, less blood loss, and faster recovery. In addition to surgery, treatment may involve intravesical therapy with chemotherapy or immunotherapy (BCG vaccine) delivered directly into the bladder, systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease, and radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy for bladder preservation. For selected advanced abdominal cases, Dr. Singhal also uses HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy), supported by a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, urologists, and radiologists to provide complete, patient-focused cancer care.

Q1. What are the early symptoms of bladder cancer?

👉 The most common symptom is blood in urine (hematuria), which may appear pink, red, or brown. Other signs include frequent urination, painful urination, and pelvic or back pain.

Q2. What increases the risk of bladder cancer?

👉 Risk factors include smoking, exposure to industrial chemicals, chronic bladder infections, family history of bladder cancer, and older age (above 50 years)

Q3. How is bladder cancer diagnosed?

👉 Diagnosis involves urine cytology tests, cystoscopy (camera inspection of bladder), biopsy, and imaging tests such as CT scan, MRI, or ultrasound.

Q4. Is bladder cancer curable?

👉 Yes, when detected early, bladder cancer is highly treatable with TURBT and intravesical therapy. Advanced stages may require surgery, chemotherapy, or combined treatments. Long-term monitoring is essential as bladder cancer has a higher chance of recurrence.

Q5. How effective is robotic surgery for bladder cancer?

👉 Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy offers greater surgical precision, less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery compared to open surgery. It is especially beneficial in complex bladder cancer cases requiring reconstruction.

Stages of Urinary Bladder Cancer

Stage I

In this early stage, bladder cancer is confined to the inner lining of the bladder and has not yet invaded the muscle layer. This is also called non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Common treatment includes Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) followed by intravesical therapy such as BCG or chemotherapy instilled directly into the bladder. With proper treatment and regular follow-up cystoscopies, Stage I bladder cancer is highly treatable, though careful monitoring is needed due to its tendency to recur.

Stage 2

At this stage, the tumor has invaded the muscle wall of the bladder, making it more aggressive than Stage I. Patients may notice symptoms such as blood in urine (hematuria), frequent urination, or pelvic pain. Treatment usually involves radical cystectomy (surgical removal of the bladder), sometimes with urinary diversion or bladder reconstruction. In certain cases, radiation therapy with chemotherapy may be offered as a bladder-preserving approach.

Stage 3

Cancer has spread beyond the bladder wall into the surrounding fatty tissue or nearby organs, such as the prostate in men, or uterus and vagina in women, and may also involve nearby lymph nodes. Symptoms may include pelvic pain, back pain, or urinary difficulties. Treatment is typically a combination of surgery, systemic chemotherapy, and possibly radiation, often within a multidisciplinary team approach to achieve the best control.

Stage 4

The most advanced stage, where cancer spreads to lymph nodes or distant organs such as the lungs, liver, or bones. Patients may experience severe pain, fatigue, weight loss, or organ-related symptoms. While cure is difficult at this stage, modern treatments such as systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and palliative radiation help control cancer progression and improve quality of life. A focus on supportive and palliative care ensures comfort and better overall outcomes.
