Overview
Common physical examination findings of transitional cell carcinoma of bladder include cachexia, pallor, and a pelvic mass may be palpated.
Physical Examination
- Complete physical examination
- Digital rectal examination in men
- Bimanual examination of the vagina and rectum in women.
Appearance of the Patient
Vital Signs
Skin
Genitourinary
Extremities
- Swelling in the lower extremities
Digital Rectal Examination
Induration of the prostate gland(if the bladder cancer involves the bladder neck and invades the prostate) An attempt to palpate the base and lateral walls of the bladder should be made looking for induration or fixation.
Lymph Nodes
Abdominal examination
- May reveal the presence of substantially enlarged para-aortic lymph nodes or hepatic metastases.
