Understanding Bladder Cancer gives
busy health care professionals the educational
resource they need. Patients are demanding
more education, but find the information available
on the Internet too fragmented and the studies
in medical journals too advanced to help them.
The OIES™ provides reliable, comprehensive
and accesible cancer information. It educates
your patients while allowing you to focus on individualized
care.
Understanding Bladder Cancer
is also an invaluable resource for clinicians
dealing with this difficult condition. Featuring
a clinical level with a detailed examination of
patterns of spread and discussions of the principles
of oncology, it introduces health care professionals
to the central issues in the treatment of the
disease.
A comprehensive
guide to bladder cancer and its treatment, both
patients and clinicians can explore content sections
such as:

the anatomy and physiology of the bladder

What is Bladder Cancer?
This section gives patients and novice health
professionals an important introduction
to bladder cancer. It includes a discussion of
risk factors and statistics about this disease.
Easy-to-understand interactive diagrams explain
cancer, and the anatomy and physiology of the
bladder.

Diagnosis
The Diagnosis section focuses on recognizing symptoms,
understanding investigations and tests,
staging bladder cancer and evaluating prognosis.
It describes the symptoms of bladder cancer, the
methods used to detect it (e.g., physical examination,
urine cytology, cystoscopy, biopsy, x-ray, CT
scan, ultrasound, bone scan, MRI scan) and the
various factors that influence prognosis. Illustrative
graphics and animations reveal how different stages
describe the extent of the disease and how different
grades are used to predict how likely the cancer
is to progress.

Treatments
The Treatments section discusses both treatment
decision-making and the details of each
of the primary therapies for bladder cancer: surgery,
radiation therapy and chemotherapy. It clearly
shows what to expect from each treatment approach,
providing answers to the questions: Why are these
treatments used? How do these treatments work?
What will happen during my visits? How will I
manage my side effects? For each type of treatment,
narrated 3-D animations and diagrams reinforce
the key concepts.

Supportive Care
The Supportive Care section focuses on the medical,
psychological and social services that help
patients cope with the many challenges of the
disease and its treatment. The topics include
managing symptoms and side effects, sexuality
and body image, living with a urostomy, diet and
nutrition, smoking cessation, relaxation techniques
and complementary therapies. Sections on palliative
care, spiritual support, psychological support
and quality of life help patients address difficult
emotional issues. Information on how to get in
touch with support groups and services
allows patients to seek out further assistance.
