Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- It could seem apparant that, an additional risk factor, which may contribute to the development of more aggressive forms of cancer of the urinary bladder is a long exposure to foreign bodies and infections (mainly Schistosoma haematobium, it concerns African and Small Asia countries, as well as medicines - cyclofosphamide) and small pelvis irradiation due to. Irradiation is the use of high-energy radiation from x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy). Systemic irradiation uses a radioactive substance, such as a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body. Also called radiation therapy and radiotherapy. Pelvis is the lower part of the abdomen, located between the hip bones. Urinary, having to do with urine or the organs of the body that produce and get rid of urine. Risk factor, something that increases the chance of developing a disease. Some examples of risk factors for cancer are age, a family history of certain cancers, use of tobacco products, being exposed to radiation or certain chemicals, infection with certain viruses or bacteria, and certain genetic changes. Aggressive is in medicine, describes a tumor or disease that forms, grows, or spreads quickly. It may also describe treatment that is more severe or intense than usual. Foreign is in medicine, foreign describes something that comes from outside the body. A foreign substance in the body`s tissues, such as a bacterium or virus, may be recognized by the immune system as not belonging to the body. This causes an immune response. Other foreign substances in the body, such as artificial joints, are designed to not cause an immune response. Bladder is the organ that stores urine.
- It could seem to be apparant that, an additional danger factor, which can contribute to the development of extra aggressive types of most cancers of the urinary bladder is a long exposure to overseas our bodies and infections (primarily Schistosoma haematobium, it concerns African and Small Asia countries, as well as medicines cyclofosphamide) and small pelvis.
- It really is clear that, one of the frequent signs of most cancers of the urinary bladder, which forces the affected person to go to a physician is haematuria, sometimes with clots. Physician, medical doctor.

Urinary, having to do with urine or the organs of the body that produce and get rid of urine. Bladder is the organ that stores urine.
Preview- It really is obvious that, ultrasonography should be the first examination in the diagnosis of cancer of the urinary bladder, when the tumor change may be depicted, provided that it is big enough, the bladder is full and the place on the wall accessible during examination. Diagnosis is the process of identifying a disease, such as cancer, from its signs and symptoms. Ultrasonography is a procedure in which high-energy sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echo patterns are shown on the screen of an ultrasound machine, forming a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. Also called ultrasound. Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Also called neoplasm.
