Bladder cancer originates in the urothelial cells of the bladder. As these cells are also found in kidneys and ureters, urothelial cancer can also occur in these organs, but is more common in the bladder. Most bladder cancers are diagnosed and treated easily at an early stage.
However, recurrence can occur even after successful treatment. This makes patients bound for follow-up tests for years after treatment to look for relapses. Attempt this Plexiquiz to refresh your knowledge on bladder cancer.
