Bladder Cancer, Bladder Removal Surgery (Cystectomy)
Bladder cancer involves abnormal cell growth in the bladder, often causing symptoms like blood in urine. Smoking is a significant risk factor. Treatment depends on the cancer's stage and can include a cystectomy (bladder removal surgery) for more advanced cases. This surgery necessitates a new way for urine to exit the body. Lifestyle changes, like quitting smoking, are vital for prevention and recovery.

“The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head. Often, the best part of your work will have nothing to do with potions or powders, but with the exercise of an influence of the strong upon the weak, of the righteous upon the wicked, of the wise upon the foolish.” As true today as it was 100 years ago by Sir William Osler.
