Dr. Amar Rewari Featured in Everyday Health Article on Managing Advanced Bladder Cancer Symptoms

Dr. Amar Rewari, Chief of Radiation Oncology at Luminis Health in Annapolis, Maryland, was recently featured as an expert source in an Everyday Health article titled "Preserving Pelvic Comfort With Advanced Bladder Cancer: Practical Solutions," published August 21, 2026.

The article, written by Roxanne Nelson, RN, explores how patients with advanced bladder cancer can work with their care teams to manage difficult symptoms such as blood in the urine, urinary frequency and urgency, urinary obstruction, and pelvic pain.

Dr. Rewari contributed his expertise on two key areas of symptom management. He explained how a short course of palliative radiation therapy can shrink a bleeding tumor and bring bleeding under control without the need for major surgery. He also discussed options for restoring urine flow when a tumor causes obstruction, outlining how urinary catheters, ureteral stents, and nephrostomy tubes can each play a role depending on where the blockage occurs.

Dr. Rewari appeared alongside oncology and urology experts from institutions including University of Iowa Health Care, Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute, and City of Hope, underscoring the multidisciplinary, team-based approach that delivers the best symptom control and quality of life for patients.
