World Health Organization reported an estimated 386,300 new cases and150,200 deaths from bladder cancer which occurred since 2008 worldwide andmajority of it occurs in males.

Bladder cancer is an uncontrolled abnormal growth and multiplication of cells inthe urinary bladder which have broken free from the normal control mechanismsof the body. It has the ability to spread to other parts of the body including thelungs, bones, and liver.

is the most common type which is usually associated withcigarette smoking having 50% incidence found in men and 30% in women.

of the bladder comprises about 2% and is associated with

prolonged inflammation and irritation. And the third type is calledcell carcinoma which comprises 1%-2% of bladder cancers and is associated withprolonged infection, inflammation, and irritation such as that associated withlongstanding stones in the bladder.



According to research the longer and heavier the exposure tocigarette smoking, the greater the chance of developing bladdercancer. Most toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke are knowncarcinogens and travel in the bloodstream after being absorbedfrom the lungs and get filtered into the urine by the kidneys. Itcomes in contact with cells in the inner lining of the urinarysystem, including the bladder, and cause changes that developinto cancer cells.

Men are more prone to developing cancer and at the highest risk

due to a higher incidence of smoking and exposure to toxicchemicals with jobs including dye, rubber, aluminum, andleather workers, truck drivers, and pesticide applicators.



Painless hematuria (blood in the urine) that occurs in episodes

Blood in the urine that has pain due to the blockage of urine by

formation of blood clots;

Patients may have the desire to urinate in small amounts and in

short frequency,

Inability to hold the urine for any length of time after the initialdesire to void, or burning sensation while passing urine (dysuria);

In advance stages, there may be bladder distention due to an

obstruction of a tumor in the bladder neck. Flank pains may also be

experienced due to obstruction of urine flow from the kidney to the

bladder by a growing tumor mass in the bladder. Also, bone or joint

pains, hemoptysis (coughing of blood) may be noted due to spread

of cancer cells to the bones and/or lungs.



For a low-risk superficial bladder cancer, the chance of

recurrence is about 15% in one year and 32% in five years

after the initial diagnosis.

For High-risk superficial tumors, multiple and large

tumors are at increased risk for recurrence andprogression. These tumors have a recurrence rate of 61%-

78% at one and five years respectively. They are also much

likely to invade into the deeper layers with progression

rates of 17%-45% at one and five years. Currently, bladder cancer is a topic of intense scientific

research.
