How is Bladder Cancer Diagnosed?
If a person who had a long term exposure to chemicals or chronic smoker ;is concerned whether he has urinary tract tumor
- Get a urine for routine and microscopic examination to see if there are a lot of blood cells in urine
- Get a urine for malignant cell cytology,
- Get a Ultrasonography Kidney, ureter and bladder
- Once a tumor is detected on a USG, FURTHER TESTS are done to look for extent of the tumor. It involves getting CBC, RFT, LFT, CHEST X RAY, CONTRAST CT SCAN WHOLE ABDOMEN and sometimes FDG PET ct SCAN to look for distant spread.
- An ENDOSCOPIC TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF BLADDER TUMOR (TURBT),gives a definite diagnosis by bringing out tissues for biopsy/histopathological examination. Many a times TURBT itself cures an early bladder tumor, not requiring further treatment with bladder removal (Radical Cystectomy) or chemotherapy

- Use of tobacco in any form, be it smoking or chewing
- Chronic exposure to chemicals as in dye and paint industry, commercial manufacture of chemicals, dyes, paints or research fellows working with chemicals

cystectomy surgery for bladder cancer
The procedure of removal of the bladder is known as cystectomy
Radical cystectomy is a surgery in which the bladder which is affected with a tumor which has evolved beyond the layer of the bladder’s outer muscle layer. Along with the bladder, in males the prostate is also removed while in female the uterus and the upper cuff of the vagina along with the pelvic lymp nodes. Once the bladder is removed the provision is made which allows patient to remove urine. To do this there are two ways one is using a stoma bag and another using a neobladder.
- Stoma Bag: We use a small piece of the intestine which is connected to the ureter inside the abdomen and a bag is placed to the stoma to another opening of the ileum outside.
- Neobladder Reconstruction: In Neobladder a new bladder is created using the intestine. The ureters are connected to the neobladder which opens into the native urethra. This allows the urine from the kidney to pass through ureters into the neobladder and out of the body through the native urethra. The patient will have to learn to timely pass the urine out using a catheter.
Cystectomy - FAQ's
Once the patient has adapted and learn to use stoma bag/ neobladder by himself he can live a relatively normal life.
There are generally no restriction infact one of our patient even goes swimming regularly.
Radiation and Chemo-radiation is an alternative method. However, this procedure is known to shrink the bladder leading to frequent urination. Hence, surgery is one of the best options for a better quality and comfortable life ahead.
