BLADDER NEOPLASM Meaning and
Definition
-
Bladder neoplasm refers to an abnormal growth of cells or tissues that form a tumor in the bladder. The bladder is a hollow organ located in the lower part of the abdomen that stores urine before it is expelled from the body. Neoplasms can occur in any part of the bladder, including the inner lining (urothelium), muscle layer, or surrounding tissues.
Bladder neoplasms may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The majority of bladder neoplasms are malignant and categorized as bladder cancer. The most common type of bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma, which develops from the urothelial cells lining the bladder. Other less common types of bladder neoplasms include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma.
Symptoms of bladder neoplasms often include blood in the urine (hematuria), frequent urination, pain during urination, and lower back or pelvic pain. However, some individuals may not experience any symptoms until the neoplasm grows larger or spreads to other parts of the body.
Diagnosis of bladder neoplasms involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and various tests such as urinalysis, imaging tests, cystoscopy, and biopsy. Treatment options for bladder neoplasms depend on the type, size, stage, and grade of the tumor. Treatment may include surgical removal of the tumor, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches.
Regular monitoring, follow-ups, and lifestyle modifications may be necessary for individuals who have been treated for bladder neoplasms to detect any recurring tumors or manage potential side effects. Early detection and timely intervention play a crucial role in improving the prognosis
