Bladder Cancer Treatment in Kharkiv — Expert-Level Urologic Oncology
Chemotherapy for bladder cancer is a modern treatment approach that includes both direct intravesical drug administration and systemic therapy affecting the entire body. At the Brigid Medical Center, we select an individualized treatment strategy based on tumor type, depth of invasion, and the patient’s overall condition to achieve recovery while preserving quality of life.
Advantages of Bladder Cancer Treatment at the Brigid Medical Center
Expert analysis
We perform detailed examination of tumor tissue and molecular markers for accurate prognosis.
Flexible approach
We choose different treatment methods depending on whether the tumor has invaded the muscular wall of the bladder.
Combination of methods
We effectively combine endoscopic surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.
Intravesical therapy
We use BCG vaccine and modern chemotherapeutic agents administered directly into the bladder for local cancer control.
Comprehensive evaluation
We use advanced imaging techniques and cystoscopy for accurate disease staging.
Quality of life focus
We place special emphasis on preserving bladder function and sexual health.
What treatment options do we offer?
Depending on the stage of disease, our uro-oncologists select the most effective strategy:
- Local drug instillation: bladder irrigation with medications immediately after tumor removal via transurethral resection (TUR).
- BCG therapy (immunotherapy): the “gold standard” for aggressive tumors that have not yet deeply invaded the bladder wall.
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy: helps shrink the tumor and eliminate possible micrometastases before organ removal.
- Adjuvant chemotherapy: prescribed to prevent recurrence when aggressive cells are detected.
- Organ-preserving protocols: a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation to avoid bladder removal.
- Immunotherapy and targeted agents: next-generation drugs for complex or metastatic cancer forms.
When does a physician prescribe chemotherapy?
Clinical situations requiring attention:
- Detection of an aggressive tumor prone to rapid growth.
- Invasion of the tumor into the muscular wall of the bladder.
- Presence of metastases in lymph nodes or adjacent organs.
- Recurrence of the disease after previous treatment.
- Ineffectiveness of prior BCG therapy.
- Metastatic cancer to relieve symptoms and prolong life.
Histological variants and tailored approach:
We treat not only classic urothelial carcinoma, but also rare forms (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma). For each cell type, a specific drug combination is selected, as their sensitivity to therapies differs.
