Early stage bladder cancers that do not involve the deeper muscle layers are curable with treatment. Patients will need a cystoscopic resection of the superficial layer to remove the cancer. In more invasive cancers, a partial or complete removal of the bladder is necessary. Advanced stage ancers that has spread to other parts of the body will need intensive chemotherapy, radiation as well as surgery
Most of the cancers occur without a definite cause and the same applies to bladder cancer as well. Certain genetic changes that affect the way the cells divide may be the reason. But there are certain factors that increase the risk of bladder cancers. Some of these like advancing age, family history, your gender etc are not in your control. But risk factors like smoking, not drinking enough water, use of certain medicines, exposure to some chemicals, etc are modifiable. Avoiding these factors will help to decrease the risk to a small extent
Blood in urine is the most common early symptom of bladder cancer. But this symptom occurs in other common conditions like urinary tract infections as well but only for a very short period. If you have blood in urine for longer periods, you need to take it seriously and consult a doctor at the earliest. Having tests like urine analysis, cystoscopy, etc will help to detect bladder cancer
Bladder cancers do have a tendency to recur after treatment. It applies for both superficial and invasive cancers. Hence, you need to have periodic tests to ensure that the cancer does not recur. It also helps to treat the cancer that recurs very early and more successfully

The cost of cystectomy in India will be 10,000 USD.
The per cycle cost of chemotherapy in India will be in the range of 1200 USD per cycle.
