据现有的研究报道,肿瘤细胞呈彗星形状排列可使膀胱癌病人免遭不必要的外科手术或放射治疗所带来的损伤。许多膀胱癌是浅表性的,可通过刮除膀胱上皮的可疑细胞而切除肿瘤。但约有1/3的肿瘤已进入膀胱的肌璧层。对此必须采取更严格的治疗,例如外科手术(该疗法可涉及膀胱的部分切除或全切除)或采用放疗(治疗一般持续6周)。治疗选择主要取决于肿瘤的部位以及外科手术与放疗的危险性。 According to the existing research, the arrangement of tumor cells in a comet shape can prevent bladder cancer patients from being damaged by unnecessary surgery or radiotherapy. Many bladder cancers are superficial and resect tumors by scraping suspicious cells of the bladder epithelium. However, about one third of the tumors have entered the bladder’s muscular layer. More stringent treatments, such as surgery (which may involve partial or total excision of the bladder) or radiotherapy (usually for 6 weeks) must be taken. Treatment options depend mainly on the site of the tumor and the risks of surgery and radiotherapy.
