Bladder cancer can be of three main types, depending on which area of the bladder it forms in, and what type of cells are affected. There are no exact causes of bladder cancer but there have been many risk factors that have been identified to increase the chances of bladder cancer which include use of tobacco, infections or irritations in the bladder, age, gender and possibly family history. Tobacco users are said to be at twice to thrice the risk of developing bladder cancer than others. Although a person may show one or more of the above mentioned risk factors, they are not exact causes for developing the disease. Anomalies in a person’s urine and an increase in the frequency of needing to urinate are considered warning signs of this cancer. Again, having these symptoms does not mean that bladder cancer is present, as infections, bladder stones and benign tumours can cause similar symptoms, but it is advisable to check with a doctor if symptoms like such appear. Doctor’s use physical tests, urine tests and, in some cases, biopsies, to diagnose the cause of symptoms that appear. In most cases biopsies can be the best way to say if a patient has bladder cancer or not.

There are four stages of bladder cancer, separated by how far the cancer has spread. Stage 0 is when the cancer cells appear only in the inner lining of the bladder, whereas Stage IV is when the cancer cells have spread through the body and reached other organs, like the lungs or pelvis. Stages I to III refer to different levels of invasion in the body by the cancer cells.

Treatments vary according to each stage, with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and sometimes surgery, used. A blend of  all these therapies can also be used. It is always better to ask for the doctor’s advice on which kind of treatment would work best for the patient. As an after-effect of bladder cancer treatment, patients may lose their appetites or suffer from nausea but it is important for patients to be able to take in proper nutrition into their body so that they have enough calories and protein. Discussing with a doctor or dietician will give the patient more knowledge on the diet that the patient needs to follow, so that recovery.
