Radiation and chemotherapy. Women who received radiation therapy for the treatment of cervical cancer have an increased risk of developing transitional cell bladder cancer. Some people who received the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) are also at increased risk.

Bladder infection.

Parasite infection.

Symptoms:

Blood in the urine

Urinary frequency

Urinary urgency

Diagnosis:

Intravenous pyelogram - IVP

Urine cytology

Treatment:

The choice of treatment depends on the stage of the tumor, and the presence of other medical conditions.

Stage 0 and I treatments:

Surgery to remove the tumor without removing the rest of the bladder

Chemotherapy or immunotherapy directly into the bladder

Stage II and III treatments:

Surgery to remove the entire bladder (radical cystectomy)

Surgery to remove only part of the bladder, followed by radiation and chemotherapy

Chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before surgery

A combination of chemotherapy and radiation (in patients who choose not to have surgery or who cannot have surgery)

Most patients with stage IV tumors cannot be cured and surgery is not appropriate. In these patients, chemotherapy is often considered.
