Brief Answer:

He has Tumor in the bladder which is resected and report is awaited

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have gone through our previous discussion on this subject and recapitulate the facts like.

Your brother has hematuria (Blood in Urine) and was investigated and found to have tumour in the bladder which was resected by an endoscopic surgery of (TURBT) on 27th Feb and the chips were sent for histopathological examination to ascertain the nature of tumour whether it is benign or malignant and to know the extent of the tumour whether it is localized or spread to surrounding structures.

It is highly impossible for any clinician to comment on the outcome of the problem, prognosis and future course of action until this report is made available.

Since 12 days are over it is likely that you have received the report.

I shall be happy if you can upload the Histopathology report to help me to make precise comments and suggestions regarding the further plan of action.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:

As per uploaded report tumour is benign in nature. Needs regular follow up

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It is reported to be a benign tumour (Hemangioma) and there is no evidence of malignancy (Cancer).

It needs regular follow up by endoscopic examination (Cystoscopy) to rule out recurrence

I think you should relax now as your brother does not have cancer of bladder.
