BLADDER CANCER

Bladder Cancer begins when cells in the lining of the bladder (urothelium) become abnormal.

​

This causes the cells to grow and divide out of control. As the cancer grows it may start to spread into the deeper layers of the bladder wall.

​

Bladder Cancer is a serious condition but it can often be treated with minimally invasive treatments such as transurethral resection (TURBT) and intravesical therapy.

​

​When bladder cancer has advanced into the muscle layer of the bladder or if superficial cancer fails to respond to more conservative measures a Radical Cystectomy may be required or radiotherapy.
