Bladder cancer



Bladder cancer refers to any of several types of malignant growths of the
urinary bladder. The image to the right shows a papillary cell tumor, the
most common type of bladder cancer.

Papillary transitional cell carcinoma is a cancer of the transitional
epithelial cells of the bladder.

The greatest risk factor for bladder cancer is a genetic predisposition; it
is also associated with smoking and occupational exposure to aniline-based
dyes (such as in textile factories), as well as with petrol and other chemicals.
