What is Bladder Cancer?
Bladder cancer is a malignant tumor within the bladder. In the United States, bladder cancers usually start from the cells lining the bladder (transitional cells).
These tumors may be classified based on their growth pattern:
- Papillary tumors have a wart-like appearance and are attached to a stalk.
- Nonpapillary tumors are much less common, but they are more invasive and have a poorer prognosis.
Alternative Names:
Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder
