Alternative Treatments for Rare and Aggressive Bladder Cancer

Mr. Moendakir is finally free from unstoppable blood in his urine. Two years ago, in his 70s, Mr. Moendakir was diagnosed with a very rare type of bladder cancer. He underwent several tumor resections (cystoscopies), followed by radiation throughout 2023–2024. However, his urination remained uncontrollable and mixed with blood.

A repeat biopsy revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma—a rare and aggressive cancer type that rarely originates in the bladder. A CT scan in early 2024 showed a 2 cm mass still present in the bladder, along with metastases to lymph nodes in the groin and para-aortic region, as well as multiple nodules in the liver (Stage 4).

This type of cancer occurs in the mucous layer of the bladder wall. It is soft in texture, making it prone to spreading to lymph nodes and other organs like the liver. This cancer is highly resistant to radiation and chemotherapy, and statistically, the 5-year survival rate for advanced-stage cases is only 8%. That’s why Mr. Moendakir sought an alternative treatment through ECCT as Alternative Treatments for Rare and Aggressive Bladder Cancer. When exposed to the electric field, these cells die and disintegrate easily. In Mr. Moendakir’s case, the dying cells dissolved into mucus and were expelled through his urine.

In the early stages of treatment, Mr. Moendakir experienced oily or mucous-like urination, sometimes containing powdery particles and black spots that lasted for several days. Blood in his urine persisted at first but gradually lessened until it stopped completely later. His previously uncontrollable urination became less frequent and more regular.

A CT scan after three months of ECCT showed that the bladder mass was no longer visible, and the swollen lymph nodes in the groin had disappeared. After six months, the nodules in his liver had turned into cysts, and all the enlarged lymph nodes were gone. After one year, the liver nodules had cleared entirely, the bladder remained clean with no recurrence, and the previously enlarged liver had shrunk back to normal size.

Now, at the age of 76, Mr. Moendakir is in excellent health. May he continue to stay healthy.
