Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is a type of cancer which forms in the bladder, a vital organ that stores urine in the body. It typically begins as small growths, or papillary tumors, in the inner lining of the bladder. Over time, these tumors may grow, and spread, to invade deeper layers of the bladder wall. Bladder cancer is one of the most common types of cancers in adults, with the highest incidence occurring in those over 65 years of age. Depending on the stage and location of the cancer, treatment options may range from medical therapies (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy) to surgery (partial cystectomy, radical cystectomy). Early detection and treatment is crucial for improving the overall outlook for bladder cancer patients.
