| What is the benign bladder cancer? |
Benign Bladder cancers are malignant tumor growths within urinary and can spread to other part of the body if not treated early. It occurs when abnormal cell growths forms extra tissue in the hollow sac that stores urine before it is voided. It may spread when abnormal cells invade surrounding tissues or travel to other organs forming secondary cancer. Most bladder cancer occurs in the bladder’s inner lining, a mucous membrane composed of transitional cells that expand and contract. Transitional cells line the entire urinary tract, from the kidneys, through the ureters, and into the bladder and urethra. If benign bladder cancer develops, the entire tract will require clinical evaluation. Bladder cancer is the most common cancer of the urinary tract, and transitional cell cancer makes up greater than 90% of malignant cancer of the bladder.
