Read MoreBladder cancer is one of the most common cancers. It occurs mainly in people who are 55 years and older. Bladder cancer starts in the cells of the bladder. It most often affects the urothelial cells of the bladder, that form the lining of the entire urinary tract.
One of the most common signs of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. Even if bleeding is occasional or short-lived and there is little or no pain associated with the bleeding, patients should not consider blood in the urine to be normal and should seek medical attention to determine its cause.
Most bladder cancers are diagnosed at an early stage, when the cancer is highly treatable. Urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma) is the most common type of bladder cancer.
