BLADDER CANCER
What Is Bladder Cancer?
Bladder cancer starts in the unique cell layer that covers the inner surface of the bladder. When the cells start to grow out of control into cancer cells they can form a tumor in the bladder. In some cases, the tumor can spread into the bladder muscle or to other parts of the body.
Men are about four times more likely to develop bladder cancer than women, but women with bladder cancer have the same symptoms as men. Smoking is one of the most important factors that cause bladder cancer.
