Speaker 1: Afternoon. Everybody. Welcome.
Speaker 2: This is our podcast today for July twenty eighth, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. And before you turn this off, we're going
Speaker 2: to talk today about bladder cancer.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to talk.
Speaker 2: About it just because some of the common warning signs
Speaker 2: that are out there that it's a potential problem. Now,
Speaker 2: if you're in that age group of twenty to forty
Speaker 2: in realizing the greatest increases in bladder cancer are coming
Speaker 2: into that age group, I think you'd better listen because
Speaker 2: these fin underneath the radar and the largest number of
Speaker 2: new cases are showing up in that age So we're
Speaker 2: going to talk about that.
Speaker 1: And share with you.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, Hi, and welcome to Health Talk with Doctor
Speaker 2: Lenn your daily dose. The information you hear on the

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