  Speaker 1: nine one six four two one five. This is an
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: article by doctor Jimmy Almandam. Day By cancer is one
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of the most common cancers affecting the urinary system and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the tenth leading cause of cancer related death in the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: United States. What makes it particularly notable is how treatable
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it can be when caught early. Many people assume it
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: appears without warning, but bladder cancer often announces itself through
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: some very subtle signs. And that's the purpose of this
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: podcast today. So what happens in your body? Cancer causing
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: chemicals from smoking industry, in the environment and of the bloodstream.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: They're filtered by the kidney and collecting the urine where
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they become in contact with the bladder lining. The most
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: common and often the first symptom of bladder cancer is
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: blood in the urine a materia. Urine color can range
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: from a faint pink to smoky, rusty, bright red or
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: dark red. Blood may appear only once or twice, making
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it easy to dismiss or attribute it to other common
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: conditions such as a urinary track, infection, or postmotopausal women.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: This confusion often delays diagnosis, allowing the cancer to advance
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to a stage where it's a more difficult to treat.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Other common symptoms include pain, burning, and irritation during urination,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: sudden urgency to urinate even when the bladder is not full,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: more frequent urination than usual, waking at night with a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: strong need to urinate. When bladder cancer becomes large or
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: sploods beyond the bladder may cause more widespread symptoms, including
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: flank pain, pain in the side of the back below
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the ribs above the waist, abdominal pain, bone pain or tenderness,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, swelling in the feet,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: persistent fatigue, and ability to urinate. The bladder is a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: balloon shaped organ in the lower abdomen of the stories
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you're in until it's ready to be released. It sits
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: within the urinary system, which also includes the killed kidneys
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: which filter toxins, the uriners which carry you into the bladder,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and the urethra, where you're an extra to the body.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The urethra is shorter in women and longer in men.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Bladder cancer develops when cells in and around the bladder
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: begin to grow up. Normally, about ninety percent of cases
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: are euytheroral carcinoma, which begins in the cells inside the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: lining of the bladder. In most cases, the tumor remains
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: confined to the innerlining because ur ethereal cells also line
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: other parts of the urinary tract, including the renal, pelvis, urine,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: or urethra. People with bladder cancer may also develop tumors
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in these areas as well. For this reason, doctors typically
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: examine the entire urinary track when evaluating and monitoring the disease.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Other types of bladder cancer include squamous cell carcinoma, which
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: involves flat skin like cells, and adenocarcinoma, which begins in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a gland forming cells. The exact cause of bladder cancer
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is not fully understood. There's some genetic issues. Bladder cancer
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: develops from certain genetic mucations accumulating the genes, allowing the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: cells to grow uncontrollably and deformed tumors. A small number
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of inherited gene variances can reduce the body's ability to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: break down harmful chemicals. Increasing sensitivity to carcinogens such as tobacco, smoke,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and industrial compounds. Inherited symptoms such as lynch syndrome and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: caldin syndrome may elevate the risk. Smoking is a big deal,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the biggest smoking biggest single risk factor for bladder cancer.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Chemical exposure, especially aromatic amines such as benzidine and bated naphthaline,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: arsenic exposure, medications, diabetes, drugs have been linked to bladder
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: cancer risk, chronic bladder irritation and infections, radiation exposure, high
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: intake of red and processed meats, low water intake, decaffeinated coffee.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: A twenty twenty five study involving more than one hundred
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and twenty thousand participants found that men who drink decafat
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to coffee had a significantly higher risk of bladder cancer
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: than those who did not. Opium use, past cancers, previous chemotherapy,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: certain birth effects, organ transplantation, certain demographics too. Age risks
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: increase with age. Most cases occur in people older than
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: fifty five. Men are three times more likely than women
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to develop bladder cancer. Bladder cancer occurs about twice as
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: often as white people as it does African American or Hispanics.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Death rates for bladder cancer have declined about one point
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: four percent annually since twenty sixteen. Some doctors may recommend
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: screening for people at high risk of bladder cancer using
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: your analysis. Urine cytology and occasional sistoscopy. Doctors may use
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: imaging and procedural tests to examine the urinary track. Sistoscopy
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: uses a thin lighted tube which is used to examine
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the bladder and urethra for tumors. Urytoscopy similar to sistoscopy,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: but examines the upper urinary tract, including the urinars and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: renal pelvis biopsies, Intravenous pylogram uses dye and X raysed image,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: urinary tract CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, blood tests, Kiddy function
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: tests are used, as are liver functioning test, especially alkaline phosphatase.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Other tests may help to evaluate urinary symptoms. To detect
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: cancer related changes in the urine, you can do a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: euroflow test measures so while a person urinates by recording
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: urine flow in the time it takes empty the bladder.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Urine based tests looking for blood bacteria and adnormal cells.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Genetic testing I recommended just recommended for select patients, particularly
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: those diagnosed at a younger age. So what are the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: gratings and stages of bladder cancer? Once bladder cancer is diagnosed,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it's graded and staged up guide treatment grading describes how
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: normal cancer cells look compared to healthy cells. In stage zero,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: bladder cancer and the cancer is limited to the bladder lining.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Stage two marks a turning point, with the cancer spreading
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: into the bladder and muscle. In stage three, it extends
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: beyond the bladder to nearby fat or organs. Stage four
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of the cancer spread to distant organs such as lungs, bones,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: or liver. The bladder cancer progresses from stage two to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: stage four, the five year survival rate drops sharply from
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: seventy three percent to nine So some of the early
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: stage treatments. Stage is zero and one surgery or intra
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: vesicle immunotherapy or chemotherapy. Number two muscle invasive bladder cancer treatment.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Stage two and three surgery bladder reconstruction or stomas, chemotherapy, radiation,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: bladder preserving approach targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Then we moved
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to metastatic bladder cancer Stage four drug combinations chemotherapy, immunotherapy alone,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: radiation combined with chemo surgery, palliative care support the quality
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of life Number four recurrent bladder cancer treatments. Treatment depends
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: on what therapies are used before the cancer returned. Options
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: include systemic chemo and innotherapy drugs or targeted therapies, acupuncture
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and acupressure, cognitive therapy, and then there's emerging in experimental
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: treatments like gene therapy, antibody drug conjugates ADC's. These targeted
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: therapies combined to cancer seeking antibody with a potent chemotherapy drug,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: natural and lifestyle approaches. Diet well. There isn't a specific
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: diet for bladder cancer. Focusing on the balance die it
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: can support overall health during treatment and recovery, meditation and mindfulness,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: exercise and music. Dietary recommendations Eat more veggies, include more
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: whole grains, eat fish and cruciferous vegetables. Eat foods rich
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: inviteament ead, limit process meats, eat a moderate amount of
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: red meat, and stay well. Hydrated. Other tips. Quit smoking,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: maintain a healthy weight, wear protective clothing and masks, avoid
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: medicines and herbal remedies containing aristolic acid. Avoid opium use obviously,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: treat UTIs properly and seek medical care. Limit unnecessary radiation exposure,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and again, reduce your reoccurrence rates. Some possible combinations of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: bladder cancer, anemia, swelling of the urters, nearating of the urethra,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: loss of bladder control, difficulty with erections in men, sexual
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: dysfunction in women. Hopefully you got a tip or two
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: there which could become very important to make sure that
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you don't become a statistic all right, need help with
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that by all means, give a call seven seven nine,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: God bless you
