You will then undergo a follow-up examination: assessment of liver and kidney function, ultrasound of the abdominal and pelvic organs, CT\/MRI. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor will also assess the presence of metastases.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The procedure begins with the intravenous <strong>administration of a photosensitizer<\/strong>. Within 24-72 hours, the drug is distributed throughout the body and actively accumulates in the tumor &ndash; its concentration there is 20 times higher than in healthy tissues.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The physician then <strong>inserts into the bladder light probes<\/strong> that emit monochromatic red laser light. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 1 hour. Under the action of the light waves, the photosensitizer decomposes, producing active oxygen radicals that destroy cancer cells from within. Healthy tissues including blood vessels, nerve endings, rectum and pelvic floor are not damaged. Doctors preserve the bladder sphincter, even if it is partially affected by cancer.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">An <strong>additional benefit of photodynamic therapy<\/strong> is the stimulation of the patient&rsquo;s anti-cancer immunity. Local treatment gives the immune system information about the bladder tumor because tumor markers are released during it. This suppresses metastasis, improves disease control, and reduces the risk of recurrence.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>After the light guide is removed<\/strong>, you will be transferred to the ward under the supervision of the attending physician and nursing staff. Because of the sparing nature of photodynamic therapy and the short duration of general anesthesia, you will not need to stay in the intensive care unit. You will not experience any discomfort or pain in the bladder area, nor will you be at risk for urinary incontinence.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">At the end of the procedure, your attending physician will evaluate the results of the follow-up tests and give you <strong>detailed recommendations for further follow-up and treatment<\/strong>.
