ABSTRACT

The main aim of this review to know the symptoms, causes, treatment & overall information of urinary bladder cancer. Bladder cancer occurs when cells in the bladder start to grow out of control. Almost all bladder cancers develop in the transitional cells of the inner layer of the bladder which is in contact with urine. Some can grow into the deeper bladder layers. The main test for diagnosing bladder canceris a cystoscopy. The urologist looks inside your bladder by inserting a small camera through the urethra (the tube that carries your wee out of the body) into the bladder. A Radical Cystectomy or RC is a surgery to remove your bladder as a treatment for invasive bladder cancer. BCG is used to treat higher risk non-invasive bladder cancers. BCG treatment has the widest range of experiences from ―not a problem at all‖ through to ―that was hellon earth‖.

Keywords: Cystoscopy, BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin), Radical Cystectomy.
