Bladder Cancer Treatment

Bladder cancer is a serious yet treatable condition when diagnosed early. It begins in the lining of the bladder and can affect both men and women, most commonly individuals above 50 years of age. At Ratna Memorial Hospital, we offer advanced and comprehensive Bladder Cancer Treatment in Pune, supported by experienced urologists, oncologists, and modern medical technology.

What is Bladder Cancer?

Bladder cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the bladder lining. The most common type is urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma). If not treated in time, it can spread to nearby tissues and other parts of the body.

Common Symptoms of Bladder Cancer

• Blood in urine (Hematuria) – most common symptom
  
• Frequent urination
  
• Pain or burning sensation during urination
  
• Pelvic or lower back pain
  
• Urgency to urinate without much output
  

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a specialist immediately for evaluation.

Causes & Risk Factors

• Smoking (major risk factor)
  
• Exposure to industrial chemicals
  
• Chronic bladder infections
  
• Family history of bladder cancer
  
• Previous radiation therapy
  

Early screening is important, especially for individuals at high risk.

• Urine analysis and cytology
  
• Ultrasound & CT Scan
  
• Cystoscopy (direct bladder examination)
