Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is, type of cancer that leads to malignant growths in the bladder. It is when abnormal cells grow and multiply without control in the urinary bladder. Transitional cell carcinoma is the most common type of cancer of the bladder and it begins in the cells lining the inside the bladder.

One main symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. This may be visible to the naked eye or only seen through a microscope. Other symptoms include pain when urinating, frequent urination and at times feeling the urge to urinate without any results.

The main cause of bladder cancer is tobacco smoking. Smoking is responsible for over half of the cancer of the bladder cases. Cigarette smoke contains carcinogens such as benzidine and 2-Naphthylamine which are responsible for the disease. Workers in metal, rubber, textile and printing industries are at a risk as well. Auto mechanics are also at a risk of bladder cancer because of their frequent exposures to hydrocarbons and petroleum chemicals. Some studies have also shown that hairdressers and women who use permanent hair dyes may be at risk.

Experts have postulated that cancer of the bladder could be as a result of the bladder directly contacting carcinogens that are excreted in urine. It is therefore that researchers have said drinking a lot of water dilutes the urine and in the process reduces the risk of the disease.

Diagnosis of bladder cancer is through urine cytology and transurethral cystoscopy. Superficial tumors can be removed by an electrocautery device. Immunotherapy is also used to treat and prevent the recurrence of superficial tumors.

Should smokers be considered suicidal?

Given how much evidence there is that smoking tobacco is dangerous to your health and can kill you eventually, do you think that smoking is a slow way of commiting suicide? I do. Smoking has been shown to give you Lung Cancer, as well as other respiratory problems such as Emphysema ( let me know if i spelled that wrong). It can also cause other types of cancer. For instance, my grandfather had bladder cancer last year (it is gone now) and the doctors said it was probably because he used to smoke. Also, my cousin's stepfather was also diagnosed with bladder cancer earlier this year, and the doctors said it was probably because he smokes. Smoking has been proven to reduce your lifespan. So, given all this evidence, it seems to me that anyone who smokes must either be suicidal or just plain stupid. What do you think?

By connection, this would mean that companies manufacturing cigarettes would be homocidal, and after killing numerous people through respiratory and other diseases, should be destroyed and have everyone inside the companies charged with manslaughter. .. Doesn't sound like a bad idea.
