My father has bladder cancer, urothilial carcinoma high-grade, muscle invasive (2nd stage). Kindly suggest proper treatment process and immunotherapy needs.
Answered by Pankaj Kamble
Hello Nihar, Generally, the first-line treatment that is used to treat urothelial carcinoma stage II cancer is surgery. Mostly, the standard treatment for urothelial carcinoma stage II is radical cystectomy. If your father has cancer in only one part of the bladder, then a partial cystectomy may be performed. But this is possible in a very small number of people. A TURBT (Transurethral resection) may be still done which helps a doctor to know the extent of cancer. This is done in order to remove any type of abnormal tissue or tumor. For the people, who are not healthy enough to get chemotherapy, a radical cystectomy may be the only treatment. But many doctors prefer to give chemotherapy before surgery as it gives better results. If the chemotherapy is given first, then the surgery will be delayed. For the patients who are not able to have surgery because of serious health issues, TURBT, chemotherapy, radiation or some combination of these treatments may be given. Since your father has stage II cancer, immunotherapy is not the treatment option as it is given only in IV stage. Hope this answer helps you. You can also seek help from an oncologist on this matter - Best Oncologist In India.
