Transitional Cell Carcinoma

Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) is a type of cancer that starts in the urothelium, the layer of cells lining the bladder, ureters, and part of the kidneys. It is the most common form of bladder cancer. TCC can cause symptoms like blood in urine, frequent urination, and pain during urination. Risk factors include smoking, exposure to certain chemicals, and a history of urinary infections. Diagnosis typically involves urine tests, imaging, and a biopsy. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, depending on how advanced the cancer is and its location.
