Transitional cell carcinoma

Superficial transitional cell carcinoma (or superficial bladder cancer, bladder warts) tend to spread only within the bladder unless they are left untreated for a long period of time.

Alternate Names : Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder
Definition
Bladder cancer is a cancerous tumor in the bladder -- the organ that holds urine.

Transitional cell carcinoma. Transitional cell carcinoma begins in the area of the kidney where urine collects before moving to the bladder. This type of kidney cancer is similar to bladder cancer and is treated like bladder cancer.

Transitional cell carcinoma: Cancer that develops in the lining of the renal pelvis. This type of cancer also occurs in the ureter and the bladder.
Transitional cells: Cells lining some organs.

Transitional cell carcinoma - starts in the join between the kidney and its ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney into the bladder).
Renal sarcoma - a rare type of kidney cancer.

Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder; Urothelial cancer
Causes
In the United States, bladder cancers usually start from the cells lining the bladder (transitional cells).

Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder
Definition of Bladder cancer:
Bladder cancer is a cancerous tumor in the bladder -- the organ that holds urine.

Transitional cell carcinoma: Cancer that begins in cells in the innermost tissue layer of the bladder. These cells are able to stretch when the bladder is full and shrink when it is emptied. Most bladder cancers begin in the transitional cells.

Transitional cell carcinoma (or urothelial carcinoma): This is by far the most common type of bladder cancer in the United States. The transitional cells form the innermost lining of the bladder wall.

Risk factors for transitional cell carcinoma include:
Cigarette smoking. This is the leading risk factor for transitional cell carcinomas. A history of smoking can quadruple your risk of this type of cancer.

It is thought that the majority of transitional cell carcinomas are caused by carcinogens (cancer-causing substances), such as tobacco smoke and chemicals in the environment.

Most bladder cancers are what are called 'transitional cell carcinomas', which means they start in the cells which line the bladder.

Urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma): This is by far the most common type of bladder cancer in the United States. The so-called transitional cells are normal cells that form the innermost lining of the bladder wall.

Transitional cell carcinoma is cancer that begins in the cells lining the inside of the bladder. Transitional cells also line the other parts of the urinary tract including the kidneys, ureters, and urethra.

is called transitional cell carcinoma. This type of cancer involves the cells that exist in the lining of the bladder. When the bladder is full, these cells expand, and when it is empty, they contract.

Sensitivity is about 90% for carcinoma in situ; however, sensitivity is considerably lower for low-grade transitional cell carcinomas. Inflammatory or reactive hyperplastic lesions or cytotoxic drugs for carcinoma may produce false-positive results.

The most common type of bladder cancer is known as transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), which is responsible for 90% of all cases of bladder cancer. TCC is cancer that starts in the inner lining of the bladder.

Types of urethral cancer include transitional cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in cells that can change shape and stretch without breaking apart), squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in flat cells lining the urethra), ...

The most common type of bladder cancer in the United States and western Europe is urothelial carcinoma, also known as transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).
