Urinary Bladder Cancer Treatment Doctors in CTM

Urological cancer surgery encompasses surgical procedures performed to treat cancers affecting the kidneys, prostate, urinary bladder, and penis. The specific surgical options depend on the type, stage, and location of the cancer.

a. Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT): TURBT is a procedure performed to remove tumors within the bladder using a cystoscope inserted through the urethra. It is commonly used for diagnosing and staging bladder cancer.

b. Radical Cystectomy: Radical cystectomy involves the surgical removal of the entire bladder, nearby lymph nodes, and sometimes adjacent organs such as the prostate or uterus. In men, urinary diversion techniques are used to reroute urine after bladder removal.
