- Women smokers may face higher bladder cancer risk.
- Researchers at the University of Southern California/Norris Cancer Center reported that women may actually be more susceptible to the bladder carcinogens in cigarette smoke, suggesting that the incidence of bladder cancer may eventually be higher in women than in men. When men and women smoked at comparably high levels, the risk of bladder cancer among women was 30% to 50% higher. ... There was no difference in the risk of bladder cancer among users of filtered versus nonfiltered cigarettes, low-tar versus higher tar cigarettes, or heavy versus light inhalers. ...

- Of the different types of cells forming the bladder, the cells lining the inside of the bladder wall are most likely to develop cancer. ...

- Transitional cell carcinomas account for more than 90% of all bladder cancers. ...
- The kidneys, the ureters (narrow tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder, and the urethra are lined with these cells. ...
- Bladder cancers are classified by how deeply they invade into the bladder wall, which has several layers. ...
- This means that, they will gradually spread to deeper layers of the bladder wall if they are not treated. By the time these cancers are detected, they have usually already invaded the bladder wall. ...

- The exact causes of bladder cancer are not clear, but smoking is an important avoidable cause of the disease. Cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke are absorbed into the blood, filtered out by the kidneys and then, as a part of the urine, stored in the bladder. In the long term, this appears to cause damage to the bladder lining. Smokers are two to three times more likely to develop bladder cancer than non smokers.
- Environmental factors can also increase the risk of developing bladder cancer. ...
- A family history of the disease, or chronic infection with the tropical diseases bilharzia also increase the risk of bladder cancer.
- Types of bladder cancers.
- There are several different types of bladder cancer. The most common, transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), causes 90% of bladder cancers. This type of cancer starts in the layer of cells that forms the lining of the bladder. The rarer types of bladder cancer include squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas, which have a different cell structure.
- If the cancer is only in the bladder lining, it is called a superficial cancer. If it has spread to the muscle wall of the bladder it is called an invasive cancer.
