Urinary Bladder Cancer

The urinary bladder is an empty organ in the lower abdomen. It preserves urine, the liquid waste generated by the kidneys. Urine passes from kidney into the bladder via a tube known as ureter.

An external layer of muscle surrounds the inner lining of the bladder. While the bladder is full, the muscles in the bladder wall can make tighter to allow urination. Urine leaves the bladder via another tube, the urethra.

Understanding Cancer

Cancer is a collection of diseases. There are more than hundred different kinds of cancer are known. All these have one thing in common: cells will become abnormal. These abnormal cells develop and destroy body tissue as well as it can spread to other parts of the body.

Healthy cells that structure the body's tissues develop, divide, and replace themselves in an orderly way. This strategy keeps the body in good repair. If cells lose the capability to control their development, they develop too quickly and without any order. And they form too much tissue. The mass of extra tissue is known as a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant.
