- Although frank haematuria may occur with urinary tract infections, kidney and bladder stones, renal cell cancer, and many other renal diseases, its presence should always raise the possibility of bladder cancer. Bladder cancer may cause pain, urinary frequency, and bladder irritability, but these symptoms are more often seen in cases of cystitis or urolithiasis. One form of bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ, produces symptoms that may resemble urinary infection or prostatitis. ...

- What are the Types of Bladder Cancer?.
- The most common type starts on the inner lining of the bladder, and arises from the "transitional cells". Therefore, it is called"Transitional Cell Bladder Cancer" and makes up 92% of total cases. It can either be "Superficial", meaning that is confined to the inner lining (and spreads along it), or"Invasive", meaning that it penetrates into the muscular wall of the bladder. ... Another less common type of bladder cancer is called "Squamous Cell Carcinoma" ; it arises from cells similar to those of the mouth and anus. The squamous cell type represents 6% of bladder cancers.
