Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells inside the bladder, which is a hollow organ that stores urine. Most bladder cancers originate from the epithelial cells lining the inner walls of the bladder, known as transitional cell carcinoma (also called urothelial carcinoma). Many bladder tumours resemble small mushrooms, initially appearing on the surface layer of the bladder lining as papillary tumours. These tumours typically grow within the bladder lining initially, but over time, they may spread into the bladder's muscle wall and other parts of the body.
Symptoms
- Haematuria: Blood in the urine is the most common symptom, often painless and intermittent.
- Frequency: Increased need to urinate, sometimes several times per hour.
- Urgency: Sudden urge to urinate.
- Dysuria: Pain or burning sensation during urination, known as dysuria.
- Pelvic pain: Particularly in advanced stages of cancer, pain may occur in the pelvic or back areas.
- Other symptoms: These include weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, and so on.
