Cancer of the walls of the urinary system. Risk factors include smoking, age, and exposure to certain chemicals. in addition people over 55, people who have been treated for cancer in the past with certain chemotherapies or radiation to the area are also at higher risk. Symptoms depends on location of the tumor but blood in the urine -- whether seen by the naked eye or seen under the microscope -- is the most common symptom. Painful or frequent urination or flank pain can also be warning signs.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Treatment is only given after a biopsy confirms a cancer is present. The biopsy is usually performed during a "cystoscopy" procedure in which a small tube and camera inspects the walls of the bladder, etc. Once the biopsy has been read, CT scans or MRIs will be ordered to determine whether the tumor has spread. Then a urologist (who is a surgeon specializing in bladder and kidneys) will recommend a treatment plan. Treatment options most frequently include chemotherapy given directly into the bladder. Systemic (to the whole body) chemotherapy is sometimes given. Surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of the above may also be considered..
This symptom checker site is a great resource to either get an idea of what is happening inside your body or even get a second opinion without incurring another huge bill. It also provides a way to connect with a professional if needed. I really enjoy this site.
