Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is a type of cancer that originates in the inner lining of the bladder, in the cells that line its wall.

Common symptoms:

• Blood in the urine, sometimes painless
• Frequent or urgent need to urinate
• Discomfort or burning when urinating

Associated factors: Various lifestyle factors and environmental exposures can influence its development.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the oncologist are in charge of its evaluation and follow-up, with support from the general practitioner in the initial evaluation. If you notice blood in the urine or persistent urinary changes, going for a professional checkup makes it possible to study the cause in time.
