Bladder cancer Information

Bladder cancer refers to lesions of urothelial cells that line the inside of bladders. Most tumors first originate from the surface of the bladder lining before spreading to the detrusor muscle on the bladder wall and other parts of the body. Bladder cancer may refer to a single tumor or consist of multiple tumors.
