Bladder Cancer – Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment by Dr. Premkumar

Bladder Cancer develops in the inner lining of the bladder, the organ responsible for storing urine. It is among the most common urological cancers and requires expert evaluation and a personalized treatment approach. Dr. Premkumar K, a leading Uro-Oncologist and Reconstructive Urologist, specializes in the precise diagnosis, surgical management, and long-term care of bladder cancer using advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques.

• Risk Factors – Smoking, chronic bladder infections, exposure to industrial chemicals, long-term catheter use, and previous radiation or chemotherapy exposure.

• Symptoms – Blood in urine (hematuria), frequent urination, painful urination, lower abdominal pain, or urinary urgency. Early detection greatly improves outcomes.

• Diagnosis – Cystoscopy, urine cytology, CT urogram, and biopsy are used to determine the presence and stage of cancer accurately.

• Treatment Options – Early-stage bladder cancers are treated through Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) followed by intravesical therapy (BCG or chemotherapy instillation).

• Advanced and Muscle-Invasive Cancers – Managed through Radical Cystectomy (complete bladder removal) with urinary reconstruction using neobladder or ileal conduit techniques, ensuring functional and aesthetic recovery.

• Minimally Invasive Techniques – Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgeries are employed for faster recovery, less pain, and improved surgical precision.

• Follow-up and Surveillance – Regular cystoscopy and imaging are essential to detect recurrence early and maintain long-term bladder health.

With a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists, Dr. Premkumar K ensures comprehensive cancer care focused on both cure and quality of life. Every patient receives personalized attention, advanced surgical care, and thorough post-treatment monitoring.
