Urothelial carcinoma
Author(s): Damon Salvatore*
When healthy cells in the bladder lining-most frequently urothelial cells—change
and expand uncontrollably, forming a mass known as a tumour, bladder cancer
develops. The renal pelvis, ureters, and urethra are all lined with urothelial cells.
Another form of urothelial cancer, known as upper tract urothelial carcinoma, is
cancer that originates in the renal pelvis and ureters. This guide describes how it is
typically treated, which is quite similar to how bladder cancer is treated. A tumour
may be benign or malignant. Malignant refers to the ability of a cancerous tumour
to develop and metastasize to different body regions. If a tumour is benign, it can
enlarge but won't spread. Rarely do benign bladder tumours occur.
