📋Overview
Bladder cancer is a malignant growth arising from the tissues of the urinary bladder, most commonly from the urothelial cells lining the bladder. It is the preferred modern term for cancers previously described by various legacy terms related to bladder tumors. This condition primarily affects the bladder's inner lining but can invade deeper layers and spread to other parts of the body if untreated.
