Chemotherapy and Infusion Therapy are Widely Adopted Bladder Cancer Therapeutics

 

The common categories of bladder cancer therapeutics include, chemotherapy, surgery, and infusion therapy. These treatments are used to treat bladder cancer in patients suffering from this disease. A brief description of the different types of therapies used for bladder cancer is listed below.

First, the very common type of bladder cancer therapeutics is chemotherapy. This therapy involves taking drugs that attack cancer cells and kill them. Common drugs used are Fluorouracil, Methotrexate and Brincidopentetate. Second, the second common type of treatment for bladder cancer is surgery and is used to remove cancerous cells or tumors from the bladder. Commonly used surgical techniques are cryosurgery, excision, and incisional biopsy. Third, the last category of bladder cancer therapeutics is non-surgical therapies. This category includes medications and/or surgical procedures that are used to control symptoms of bladder cancer such as pain and spasms.

There are other bladder cancer therapeutics that do not involve medication or surgery and that can help reduce the symptoms of bladder cancer such as reducing fever and lowering blood pressure, suppressing diarrhea and vomiting and reducing bladder contractions. Common medicines and treatments used in this category are Naloxone and IV fluids. These treatments are often used to help control the side effects associated with chemotherapy and surgery.

Finally, there are a number of natural treatments that are used to treat bladder cancer. Some of these bladder cancer therapeutics, such as herbal remedies, vitamins, homeopathy and acupuncture have been proven effective in treating and controlling the symptoms of this type of cancer. These natural therapies include herbs such as St. John's Wort, Garlic, Nettle Root, Aloe Vera, Sage and Yucca.

As you can see, there are a number of different types of therapies that can be used to treat bladder cancer, and it is important for patients to understand how to choose the best option for their particular case. Seek medical advice from your doctor if you suspect that you may have bladder cancer and discuss your options with him or her.

Surgery is an option to consider, but this surgery should not be used to cure your condition and it should only be used to manage the symptoms of bladder cancer. Chemotherapy is also a treatment that can be considered, but it is typically reserved for the worst cases of this disease. If you want to prevent the spread of bladder cancer, then you must be proactive and educate yourself about the causes of the disease in your urinary tract. One important step you can take is to maintain a healthy diet. Eating a diet rich in nutrients, especially those found in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains can go a long way towards keeping your body healthy and preventing the growth of any cancerous cells. Also, drinking water is essential to a healthy diet. Water helps flush toxins and wastes out of your body, which is a key component of good health.

It has been proven that cancerous tumors tend to grow when the body produces too much waste from the tissues where the cancerous cells reside, so you need to keep your bowels moving as well. So by avoiding constipation and straining your bowels can go a long way to keeping your body healthy and cancer-free. Drinking lots of fluids, including water, helps you avoid developing this type of cancer.
