what is an estimated range for the cost of a transurethral resection for bladder cancer paid out of pocket?

Question

Is there an age range when bladder cancer is most common?

Answer 1

Depends: The answer depends on where you live and what the particulars are about your case. Generally you will need to pay for the facility where your procedure is done, the surgeon, and the anesthesiologist. I recommend you call all of the people involved to ask them what they anticipate the charges to be. Often you can get a discount by paying cash.

Answer 2

Varies : Every physician has his/her own fee schedule. This will depend on physician's expertise, accolades and recognition. It may also vary depending on which state you are on. You also have to take in consideration anesthesia and surgical center fees. If it is done in the office or surgicenter you can save in the hospital fee, make sure that the office is certified by jacho or simmilar certifying body.

Answer 3

Yes: Any use of tobacco increases the risk of cancer, at multiple sites in the body.

Answer 4

Maybe: It isn't as great a risk factor as cigarettes but the risk is there. The answer depends on what your definition of high risk is.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes. See oral surgeon or ENT doc if you have any of these symptoms: Persistent mouth sore, persistent mouth pain, a lump or thickening in the cheek, a white/red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth, a sore throat, hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing/chewing.

Answer 6

Yes: Related to urge problems.

Answer 7

One of many: Detrol (tolterodine) is used as a bladder muscle relaxant, most frequently to control an overactive bladder. It helps to functionally increase bladder capacity & suppress involuntary bladder contractions &/or urge to urinate. Does not cross the blood brain barrier so that is a good replacement for oxybutinin which is usually more effective bur can cause blurred vision & other central nervous system effects.

Answer 8

Various cell types: Endometrial cancer is characterized by stage and cell type. Clear cell is a description of the type of cells and simply behave in a more aggressive growth pattern than others.

Answer 9

Endometrial cancer : Clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium is an uncommon, very aggressive variant. It has very different genetic changes in the tumor than does the common endometrial cancer.

Answer 10

Hard to say: Typical staging of cirrhosis is by a, b, c and not numbers. There might be another scale that they are using. Liver cancer is associated with cirrhosis. Stages are 1-4. I think that the best way to know is to clarify with the GI doctors to get a clear idea.

Answer 11

Cirrhosis/cancer: fibrosis is scarring, stages on scale of 0-4 or 0-6. at the last stage, it's called cirrhosis - no letters or numbers. people with cirrhosis are at risk for cancer. liver cancer is staged by TNM and indeed can be assigned I-IV - yet in real life no one uses that staging as the underlying liver function and tumor size is much more important in terms of outcome. We use Barcelona staging for that.

Answer 12

Liver cirrhosis & ca: Hepatocellular carcinoma (malignant hepatoma) is most common type of liver cancer, & most cases are secondary to either viral hepatitis or cirrhosis. This tumor is rare in usa. Main risk factors are alcoholism, hepatitis b or c, wilson's disease, type 2 diabetes with obesity, & hemochromatosis.
