Actos and Bladder Cancer 12/20/2011: As new drugs are introduced and new combinations of drugs are tested, statistics regarding effectiveness are constantly changing. Side effects too can vary, depending on the individual. However, most patients will experience the side effects to various degrees, and these need to be fully understood prior to proceeding.

In the end, it is the individual’s decision as to whether to begin or end chemotherapy. For many, trying chemo and seeing the effect on the cancer is a sound decision. If the cancer does not respond or if the patient finds the side effects unacceptable, chemotherapy can be stopped. It is extremely important for you to have an oncologist who will work with you closely. Your oncologist should understand your feelings regarding cancer treatment fully.

Actos Bladder Cancer 12/20/2011: The elderly, frail individuals with multiple coexisting chronic illnesses, individuals that are weakened through mahiutrition or who have compromised immunity all would face substantially increased risk of complications from standard chemotherapy regimens for bladder cancer. Unfortunately, cisplatin is toxic to kidneys, and many individuals with bladder cancer have compromised kidney function which effectively rules out the use of platinum based chemotherapy. Other treatment regimens exist and are being worked on for these individuals, but none show the efficacy of the standard therapy which includes cisplatin.

Most individuals treated with standard chemotherapy regimens with metastatic bladder cancer will have recurrence and progression of their disease. Multiple treatment regimens have been utilized with overall response rates of 10-40%.[1] To date, regimens have generally used taxanes, both docetaxel and paclitaxel. Ifosfamide has been shown to have significant single agent activity as well, but is extremely toxic. Combination therapy with taxanes and ifosfamide are presently being tested.

Actos Lawsuit 12/21/2011: A mutation is a disruption in the DNA of a cell, leading to a loss of regulated cell growth. Mutations can occur spontaneously as we age. It is truly amazing that all of us don’t develop cancer as we are composed of trillions of cells dividing regularly over decades. Fortunately, our cells have repair mechanisms which can often fix damaged cells before cancer arises. In addition, the immune system can destroy cancer cells before they have a chance to grow into tumors.

Actos Attorney12/15/2011: When an individual has diffuse, high grade cancer of the bladder, even when superficial, bladder removal may be warranted. Many may have widespread carcinoma in situ (CIS) in conjunction with papillary disease. One can expect a high rate of recurrence and a high rate of progression to invasive disease. Generally, intravesical therapy is tried first. If this therapy is unsuccessful, repeated therapy or alternate intravesical therapies can be tried. However, with failure of intravesical therapy, further trials may prove to be equally ineffective and lead to unnecessary delay for potentially definitive curative therapy. Many recommend removal of the bladder if two courses of six weeks of BCG are ineffective. Therefore, radical cystectomy is a treatment option for any individual who is thought to be at significant risk for progression to musclc invasive and potentially metastatic disease.

Actos Lawyers12/20/2011: There are multiple factors which must be considered. Generally younger patients, those in better overall health, and those with excellent preoperative erections can expect a more rapid return of erectile activity if the nerve sparing approach is successful. Even with meticulous nerve sparing, some nerve injury, either temporary or permanent may occur. The extent of the injury will determine how quickly erections may return. Erections may start returning in as little as two to three months, or may gradually return over a period of a year, or may not return at all.

In addition, the immune system can destroy cancer cells before they have a chance to grow into tumors.

Mutations and cancer can also be triggered by environmental factors. Certain chemicals have been identified to be particularly effective at inducing mutations in our DNA and subsequent cancer. These chemicals are called carcinogens. Smoking is the most common culprit! Cigarette smoking has a strong link with bladder cancer. Studies have shown approximately 50% of bladder cancer is secondary to tobacco smoke. Smoking releases dozens of carcinogens into the lungs and then into the blood stream. Many of these carcinogens are excreted by the kidneys.

Actos Attorney12/15/2011: Cell growth is closely regulated by genes which are composed of DNA located in the command center of the cell, the nucleus. When the genes become defective, cell growth can become unregulated, and tumors can develop. Oncogenes, also called cancer genes, can be activated, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth. Other genes which help prevent abnormal cell growth called tumor suppressor genes may be inactivated. Genes can be activated which enhance the tumor cell’s ability to spread throughout the body. The body’s immune system is a critical safeguard against the formation of cancerous tumors, often destroying the abnormal cells before they have a chance to grow and divide.

Actos Warning

Actos Warnings

Actos Warning: Bladder cancer, or any serious potentially life threatening condition is primarily alien to most people. Suddenly, lives are altered and a new reality needs to be dealt with. Becoming a “patient” or worse “a cancer patient” is not only threatening, but a dreaded proposition. Cancer patients are not happy with the reduction of autonomy, the invasion of privacy, the discomfort inflicted upon them and the demands on their time and quality of life. As a patient, being thrust into this altered identity, it is critical to seek out the information you need. Having a primary source of knowledge is a must when facing the troubles and treatment decisions which lie ahead.
