In addition to the stages of cancer numbered from zero to four, #BladderCancer #tumors are further classified as either low-grade or high-grade, based on how the cells look through a microscope.

#Sarcomas are a rare type of #BladderCancer that starts in the muscle cells of the bladder. Other rare types of bladder cancer include squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas, and small cell carcinomas.

Approximately 70% of patients who are diagnosed with #BladderCancer have the disease at a very early stage, where just the bladder lining is affected and not the muscular layer of the bladder wall.

Blue light technology can identify both high-risk and low-risk #tumors. With blue light technology, tumors can be detected earlier and the patient’s treatment can start sooner.

According to a study comparing the white light technique and the blue light technique, the average time of a #BladderTumor recurrence is seven months longer after blue light. And with blue light, bladder tumor recurrence rates are lower.

Gross #hematuria is blood in the urine that can be seen easily, and it is the most common clinical sign of #BladderCancer. The bleeding is usually infrequent, short-lived, and painless, which can cause a patient to delay seeking medical care.

#BlueLightCystoscopy involves using a catheter to administer a contrast agent, which is absorbed by #cancerous cells in the #bladder. Cells fluoresce when exposed to blue light, making it easier to see the tumor and visualize its margins for removal. https://t.co/n8ldV9BAFf

Scientists are learning that toxic chemicals in our home and work environments can increase the risk of developing #BladderCancer. Individuals may be exposed to these chemicals in industrial workplaces and in water and air pollution.

A tool that doctors use to describe the stage of a #cancer is the TNM system (Tumor, Node and Metastasis). To determine the stage of cancer, the results are combined. There are five possible stages: stage 0 (zero) and stages I to IV (1 to 4).

The #bladder is an extraperitoneal muscular #urine reservoir located in the pelvis. It sits behind the pubic symphysis, which is the secondary cartilaginous joint, between the right and left pubic bones.

#Hematuria, which is the presence of #blood in the #urine, can take two forms. Easily visible blood is called gross hematuria, while microscopic hematuria is blood that can be detected only by using a microscope.

About half of all #BladderCancers are found as non-invasive, while still in the inner layer of the bladder wall. One in three #bladder #cancers have spread into deeper layers, but still within the bladder.
