Bladder Cancer – Comprehensive Diagnosis & Treatment at Vyshnavi Hospitals
Bladder cancer is a malignant growth in the bladder lining, commonly caused by abnormal cell mutations. It is one of the most prevalent urological cancers, often detected early but requiring prompt treatment to prevent progression. Vyshnavi Hospitals offers advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and cutting-edge surgical procedures to manage bladder cancer effectively.
Types of Bladder Cancer
1. Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC)
The most common type, originating in the bladder’s inner lining.
2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Develops due to long-term irritation or infection of the bladder.
3. Adenocarcinoma
A rare form of bladder cancer that begins in mucus-producing bladder cells.
Risk Factors
1. Smoking & Tobacco Use
A major contributor to bladder cancer development.
2. Chemical Exposure
Industrial chemicals, dyes, and radiation exposure increase risk.
3. Chronic Bladder Infections & Inflammation
Recurrent UTIs and prolonged catheter use can lead to bladder cancer.
4. Age & Gender
Bladder cancer is more common in older adults and men.
5. Family History & Genetics

2. Frequent Urination or Urgency
A persistent need to urinate, even when the bladder is not full.
