Urothelial Carcinomas

Urothelial carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the urothelium, the layer of cells lining the bladder and other parts of the urinary system. This cancer is most commonly found in the bladder and can vary in severity. Symptoms might include blood in the urine, frequent urination, or pain during urination. Risk factors include smoking, exposure to certain chemicals, and chronic bladder infections. Treatment options often include surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, depending on the stage of the cancer. Early detection is crucial for effective management and improved outcomes.
