Bladder Cancer
There are two types of bladder cancer - superficial and invasive.
Superficial bladder tumors, also known as papillary tumors, papillomas or bladder warts, are found on the surface of the urinary epithelium.
Invasive bladder tumors are found deeper in urinary epithelium and have extended into the muscle layer or surrounding tissues, and in some cases,
has spread through the bladder wall to nearby organs, such as the rectum, sigmoid colon, prostate gland (in men), the uterus (in women), and to the lymph glands and the bones of the pelvis.
