bladder cancer
Urothelial cell disease
Bladder cancer is a malignancy originating in the tissues of the bladder, the organ that stores urine.
It typically begins in the cells lining the bladder's interior.
Blood in the urine is often the first symptom.
Treatment depends on stage and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.
Smoking is a major risk factor.
