What is the Best Treatment for Urinary Bladder Cancer in Delhi?

● TURBT or transurethral resection of the bladder Tumor is the minimally invasive
treatment in which an endoscope is passed in the bladder through the urethral
opening. So no cut or incisions are made to access the bladder. You will be given
general anesthesia so you will be asleep during the procedure to make it
peaceful for the patient. TURBT instrument is then inserted through the urinary
opening. This endoscope is assisted by a camera along it. In the TURBT
treatment, an endoscope reaches the bladder and the lump is resected as well
as taken out.
Once the lump is removed, the nearby cancer cells are destroyed by using
electrical current by a procedure called cauterization. Chemotherapy medication
is also injected into the bladder by the scope. This is called intravesical radiation
treatment.
The tumor is then sent to the pathology laboratory to discover the stage of
bladder cancer cells. Your company may recommend that you have maintenance
intravesical chemotherapy for an amount of time, suggesting that you’ll have
regular therapies.
● Immunotherapy – This immunotherapy gives immunity power to the patient’s body
to eliminate cancer cells.
