Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for bladder cancer.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for bladder cancer.
- The type of surgery you have will depend on the type of tumor and the stage of the cancer.
-
- It is most often used to remove tumors that are only in the lining of the bladder and have not grown into the muscle layer of the bladder wall.
- Partial, or segmental cystectomy removes the tumor and part of the bladder.
- Radical cystectomy
- Radical cystectomy removes all of the bladder along with the surrounding fatty tissue and nearby lymph nodes. Some reproductive organs may also be removed.
-
- Urinary diversion to create a urinary path is needed after the bladder is removed with a radical cystectomy.
