- 0:19Speaker 2: that are out there that it's a potential problem. Now,
- 0:22Speaker 2: if you're in that age group of twenty to forty
- 0:25Speaker 2: in realizing the greatest increases in bladder cancer are coming
- 0:29Speaker 2: into that age group, I think you'd better listen because
- 0:34Speaker 2: these fin underneath the radar and the largest number of
- 0:37Speaker 2: new cases are showing up in that age So we're
- 0:40Speaker 2: going to talk about that.
- 0:41Speaker 1: And share with you.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Stay tuned, Hi, and welcome to Health Talk with Doctor
- 0:45Speaker 2: Lenn your daily dose. The information you hear on the
- 0:48Speaker 2: show is informational.

- 2:46Speaker 2: St seven.
- 3:16Speaker 1: To reach me.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Off air tenseh leading cause of cancer deaths can mimic
- 3:21Speaker 2: a urinary track infection or postmenopausal bleeding in women that
- 3:29Speaker 2: happens a little too often. Bladder cancer is one of
- 3:32Speaker 2: the most common cancers affecting the urinary system. What makes
- 3:35Speaker 2: it particularly notable is how treatable it can be when
- 3:38Speaker 2: caught early. Many people assume it appears without warning, but
- 3:42Speaker 2: bladder cancer often announces itself through subtle signs.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So what happens in.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Your body cancer causing chemicals from smoking industry, the environment
- 3:52Speaker 2: under the bloodstream, they're filtered by the kidneys and collect
- 3:55Speaker 2: in the urine, where they become in contact with the bladderlining.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Stage zero.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Typically other risk factors genetic infections, et cetera. The most
- 4:07Speaker 2: common and often first symptoms of bladder cancer is blood
- 4:10Speaker 2: in the urine. Urine color can range from fate pain
- 4:14Speaker 2: to smoky, rusty, bright red, or dark red, but may
- 4:17Speaker 2: appear only once or twice, making it easy to dismiss
- 4:21Speaker 2: or attribute it to other common conditions, such as a
- 4:23Speaker 2: urinary tract infection or postmental puzzle bleeding. In women, this
- 4:27Speaker 2: confusion often delays diagnosis, allowing the cancer to advance to
- 4:31Speaker 2: a stage where it becomes more difficult to treat. Other
- 4:34Speaker 2: common symptoms include pain, burning, and irritation during urination, sudden
- 4:39Speaker 2: urgency to urinate even when the bladder is not full,
- 4:42Speaker 2: more frequent urination than usual, waking up at night with
- 4:46Speaker 2: a strong need to urinate. When bladder cancer becomes large
- 4:50Speaker 2: or spreads beyond the bladder may cause more widespread symptoms,
- 4:53Speaker 2: including flank pain, pain in the side of the back
- 4:57Speaker 2: below the ribs and above the waist, a dumb pain,
- 5:00Speaker 2: bone pain, tenderness, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, swelling
- 5:04Speaker 2: in the feet, persistent fatigue, inability to urinate.
- 5:10Speaker 1: So what causes bladder cancer?
- 5:12Speaker 2: The bladder's a balloon shaped organ in the lower abdomen
- 5:15Speaker 2: that stores urine until it's.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Ready to release it.
- 5:18Speaker 2: It sits within the urinary system, which also includes the
- 5:20Speaker 2: kidneys which filter the toxins from the blood to produce
- 5:24Speaker 2: the urine, and the uryters to carry urine to the bladder,
- 5:28Speaker 2: and the urethra, where the urine exits the body. The
- 5:31Speaker 2: urethra is shorter in women and longer in men. Bladder
- 5:35Speaker 2: cancer develops when cells in and around the bladder begin
- 5:37Speaker 2: to grow abnormally. About ninety percent of the cases are
- 5:41Speaker 2: eurythereal carcinoma, which begins in the cells lining the inside
- 5:45Speaker 2: of the bladder. In most cases, the tumor remains confined
- 5:49Speaker 2: to the innerlining because eurytheeal cells also line the other
- 5:53Speaker 2: parts of the urinary track, including the renal, pelvis, urtors,
- 5:57Speaker 2: and urethra, People with bladder cancer may also up tumors
- 6:00Speaker 2: in those areas as well. For this reason, doctors typically
- 6:04Speaker 2: examine the entire urinary tract when evaluating and monitoring the disease.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Other types of bladder cancer include squamous cell carcinoma, which
- 6:12Speaker 2: involves flat skin like cells, and adenocarcinoma, which begins in
- 6:17Speaker 2: gland forming cells. The exact cause of bladder cancer is
- 6:21Speaker 2: not fully understood, but researchers have identified several factors. Bladder
- 6:26Speaker 2: cancer develops in certain genetic mutations, accumulating the genes, allowing
- 6:30Speaker 2: cells to grow uncontrollably informed tumors. In most cases, these
- 6:34Speaker 2: are somatic mutations, meaning they are acquired during a person's
- 6:38Speaker 2: lifetime rather than inherited. A small number of inherited gene
- 6:43Speaker 2: variants can reduce the body's ability to break down harmful chemicals,
- 6:48Speaker 2: increasing sensitivity to carcinogens such as tobacco, smoke, or industrial compounds. Environmental, medical,
- 6:57Speaker 2: and lifestyle factors also increase bladder cancerous just smoking, chemical exposure,
- 7:02Speaker 2: arsnack exposure from naturally occurring sources, medications and supplements, chronic
- 7:11Speaker 2: bladder irritation and infections, radiation exposure, high intake of redden
- 7:16Speaker 2: process meats, low water intake decaffeinated coffee. A twenty twenty
- 7:22Speaker 2: five study involving more than one hundred and twenty thousand
- 7:24Speaker 2: participants found that many drank decaffeinated coffee had a much
- 7:28Speaker 2: higher risk of bladder cancer than those who did not.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Opium use, past cancers, previous chemotherapy, certain birth defects, organ transplantations,
- 7:40Speaker 2: certain demographics. Risk increases with age. Most cases occur at
- 7:46Speaker 2: age fifty five. Men are about three times more likely
- 7:49Speaker 2: than women to develop Bladder cancer appears twice as often
- 7:54Speaker 2: in white people versus African American or Hispanic.
- 7:58Speaker 1: It's diagnosed by screening.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Some doctors may recommend screening for people at high risk
- 8:03Speaker 2: of bladder cancer using your analysis. Urine cytology or occasional cystoscopy.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Imaging is done sistoscopy, uteroscopy don't pronounce that right. Biopsy
- 8:15Speaker 2: see T scan, MRI ultrasound. Blood tests can take a
- 8:19Speaker 2: look at kidney function tests, liver related tests such as
- 8:22Speaker 2: alkon phosphatase, other tests including euroflow test, urine base test,
- 8:29Speaker 2: and genetic testing. Once bladder cancer is diagnosed, it's graded
- 8:34Speaker 2: and staged. In stage zero, the cancer is limited to
- 8:37Speaker 2: the bladder lining.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Stage.
- 8:40Speaker 2: By stage one, it's grown into the tissue beneath the lining,
- 8:43Speaker 2: but does not reached the muscle. Stage two, marks is
- 8:46Speaker 2: a turning point where the cancer spreads into the bladder muscle.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Stage three, it extends beyond the bladder into nearby fat
- 8:53Speaker 2: or organs.
- 8:54Speaker 1: By stage four, the cancer spread to distance.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Organs such as lungs, bones, and liver. As the bladder
- 8:59Speaker 2: can or progressive. From stage two to stage four, the
- 9:02Speaker 2: five year survival rate drops from seventy three percent to nine.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Early stage treatments surgery, intravensical immunotherapy or chemotherapy. Systectomy, partial
- 9:16Speaker 2: or complete bladder removal may be recommended. Number two muscle
- 9:21Speaker 2: invasive bladder cancer treatments surgery, bladder reconstruction, chemotherapy, radiation, bladder
- 9:27Speaker 2: preserving approach, and targeted therapy. Metastatic bladder cancer. Stage four
- 9:35Speaker 2: drug combinations, chemo immunotherapy alone, radiation, surgery, or palliative care.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Number four recurrent bladder cancer treatments. Depending on what therapies
- 9:46Speaker 2: were used before the cancer returned, options may include systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, drugs,
- 9:52Speaker 2: or targeted other therapies. Acupuncture has been positively associated with
- 9:57Speaker 2: help cognitive therapies, which is deep breathing and guided imagery
- 10:02Speaker 2: to help train the brain to better control the bladder
- 10:06Speaker 2: and then emergins and experimental treatments such as gene therapy,
- 10:10Speaker 2: anti body drug conjugates ADC's. What are some natural approaches diet?
- 10:17Speaker 2: While there isn't a specific diet for bladder cancer, focused
- 10:20Speaker 2: on a balanced eye can support overall health during treatment
- 10:22Speaker 2: and recovery. Meditation and mindfulness exercise music. How can I
- 10:29Speaker 2: prevent bladder cancer? Eat more vegetables, especially the non starchy
- 10:33Speaker 2: veggies such as leafy greens, broccoli, and peppers. Include whole
- 10:36Speaker 2: grains and dietary fiber in the diet. Eat fish and
- 10:39Speaker 2: cruciferous vegetables which help ower the risk. Eat foods risk
- 10:43Speaker 2: invite an EC and D Limit processed meats, and eat
- 10:46Speaker 2: a moderate amount of red meat. Stay well hydrated, quit smoking,
- 10:51Speaker 2: maintain healthy weight or protective clothing and masks when work
- 10:54Speaker 2: working with harmful chemicals. Avoid medicines and herbal remedies containing
- 10:59Speaker 2: ariostolic acid, Avoid opium use, Treat urinary tract infections promptly,
- 11:04Speaker 2: and seek medical care for kidney or bladderstones. Limit unnecessary
- 11:09Speaker 2: radiation exposure. Some evidence suggested taking high doses to certain
- 11:13Speaker 2: vitamins and minerals, including AB six C and E, along
- 11:17Speaker 2: with selenium. And zinc help to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.
- 11:21Speaker 2: At the same time, high intake of fullic acid may
- 11:24Speaker 2: increase the risk of recurrence in non muscle invasive bladder cancer.
- 11:28Speaker 2: So again, synthetic folic acid. That's why you need methyl
- 11:32Speaker 2: folate if you're going to be taking that. What are
- 11:35Speaker 2: the possible complications of bladder cancer anemia, swelling of the urd,
- 11:39Speaker 2: narrating of the urethra, loss of bladder control, difficulty with
- 11:43Speaker 2: erections in men's, sexual dysfunction in women. Wow, a lot
- 11:50Speaker 2: of different options from supplemental standpoint. You can check those
