  1. Types Of Bladder Cancer

  2. Urothelial Carcinoma Also known as transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), urothelial carcinoma is the most common type of bladder cancer. Research suggests that if you have bladder cancer, it is likely to be urothelial carcinoma. This type of cancer generally begins in the urothelial cells that line the inner surface of the bladder. These cells are also found in kidneys or ureters, or tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. When these cells start to grow out of control, they form a tumor that spreads to other parts of the body.

  3. Adenocarcinoma In the United States, about 1% of bladder cancer patients have adenocarcinoma. They are very much related to the gland-forming cells of colon cancer.

  4. Small Cell Carcinoma Not more than 1% of bladder cancer is small cell carcinoma. The ailment starts in the nerve-like cells, also known as neuroendocrine cells. Unlike other cancers, small cell carcinoma spreads rapidly and primarily needs to be treated with chemotherapy.

  5. Squamous Cell Carcinoma The following most frequent kind of bladder cancer is squamous cell carcinoma. In North America and Europe, it accounts for roughly 5% of all bladder malignancies. This cancer starts in the bladder’s thin, flat squamous cells, which arise as a result of chronic inflammation and infection. Squamous cell carcinoma is most common in areas where schistosomiasis, a parasite infection, is expected in the Middle East.

  6. Sarcoma It is a sporadic type of bladder cancer and begins in the muscle cells of the bladder. There are several types of sarcoma. Osteosarcoma spreads in bones, liposarcoma in fat, while rhabdomyosarcoma forms in muscles.
