Bladder cancer most often begins in the cells (urothelial cells) that line the inside of your bladder — the hollow, muscular organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Although it's most common in the bladder, this same type of cancer can occur in other parts of the urinary tract drainage system.

- Pelvic pain
- Back pain
- Frequent urination
Treatment
- Surgery, to remove cancerous tissue
- Chemotherapy in the bladder (intravesical chemotherapy),
- Chemotherapy for the whole body (systemic chemotherapy),
