| Exposure to environmental carcinogens of various types is responsible for the development of most bladder cancers. Tobacco use (specifically cigarette smoking) is thought to cause 50% of bladder cancers discovered in male patients and 30% of those found in female patients. Thirty percent of bladder tumors probably result from occupational exposure in the workplace to carcinogens such as [[benzidine]]. Occupations at risk are metal industry workers, rubber industry workers, workers in the textile industry and people who work in printing. Some studies also suggest that auto mechanics have an elevated risk of bladder cancer due to their frequent exposure to hydrocarbons and petroleum-based chemicals.<ref>[http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/81/19/1480 Occupational Risks of Bladder Cancer in the United States: II.

| Hairdressers are thought to be at risk as well because of their frequent exposure to permanent hair dyes. It has been proposed that hair dyes are a risk factor, and some have shown an odds ratio of 2.1 to 3.3 for risk of developing bladder cancer among women who use permanent hair dyes, while others have shown no correlation between the use of hair dyes and bladder cancer. Certain drugs such as [[cyclophosphamide]] and [[phenacetin]] are known to predispose to bladder TCC. Chronic bladder irritation (infection, bladder stones, catheters, [[bilharzia]]) predisposes to squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder. Approximately 20% of bladder cancers occur in patients without predisposing risk factors. Bladder cancer is not currently believed to be heritable (i.e., does not "run in families" as a consequence of a specific genetic abnormality).

| ===Pathological Classification=== | | ==[[Bladder cancer overview|Overview]]== |
| 90% of bladder cancer are [[Transitional cell carcinoma]]s (TCC) that arise from the inner lining of the bladder called the [[urothelium]]. The other 10% of tumours are [[squamous cell carcinoma]], [[adenocarcinoma]], [[sarcoma]], [[small cell carcinoma]] and secondary deposits from cancers elsewhere in the body.
| |
|
| |
|
| TCCs are often multifocal, with 30-40% of patients having a more than one tumour at diagnosis. The pattern of growth of TCCs can be papillary, sessile (flat) or carcinoma-in-situ (CIS).
| | ==[[Bladder cancer historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]== |
|
| |
|
| The 1973 [[WHO]] grading system for TCCs (papilloma, G1, G2 or G3) is most commonly used despite being superseded by the 2004 WHO <ref>Sauter G, Algaba F, Amin MB, Busch C, Cheville J,

| | ==[[Bladder cancer pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]== |
|
| |
|
| Bladder TCC is staged according to the 1997 [[TNM]] system:
| | ==[[Bladder cancer causes|Causes]]== |
|
| |
|
| *Ta Non-invasive papillary tumour
| | ==[[Bladder cancer differential diagnosis|Differentiating Bladder cancer from other Diseases]]== |
| *T1 Invasive but not as far as the muscular bladder layer
| |
| *T2 Invasive into the muscular layer
| |
| *T3 Invasive beyond the muscle into the fat outside the bladder
| |
| *T4 Invasive into surrounding structures like the [[prostate]], [[uterus]] or pelvic wall
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Staging=== | | ==[[Bladder cancer epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]== |
| The following stages are used to classify the location, size, and spread of the cancer, according to the TNM (tumor, lymph node, and metastasis) staging system:
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''Stage 0''': Cancer cells are found only on the inner lining of the bladder.
| | ==[[Bladder cancer risk factors|Risk Factors]]== |
|
| |
|
| *'''Stage I''': Cancer cells have proliferated to the layer beyond the inner lining of the urinary bladder but not to the muscles of the urinary bladder.
| | ==[[Bladder cancer screening|Screening]]== |
|
| |
|
| *'''Stage II''': Cancer cells have proliferated to the muscles in the bladder wall but not to the fatty tissue that surrounds the urinary bladder.
| | ==[[Bladder cancer natural history|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]== |
|
| |
|
| *'''Stage III''': Cancer cells have proliferated to the fatty tissue surrounding the urinary bladder and to the prostate gland, vagina, or uterus, but not to the lymph nodes or other organs.

| *'''Stage IV''': Cancer cells have proliferated to the lymph nodes, pelvic or abdominal wall, and/or other organs.
| |
| | |
| *'''Recurrent''': Cancer has recurred in the urinary bladder or in another nearby organ after having been treated.<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=The Gale Encyclopedia of Cancer: A guide to Cancer and its Treatments, Second Edition. Page no. 137 }}</ref>

| ==Treatment== | | ==Treatment== |
| The treatment of bladder cancer depends on how deep the tumor invades into the bladder wall. Superficial tumors (those not entering the muscle layer) can be "shaved off" using an electrocautery device attached to a [[cystoscope]]. [[Immunotherapy]] in the form of [[Bacillus Calmette-Guérin|BCG]] instillation is also used to treat and prevent the recurrence of superficial tumors.<ref>{{cite journal | volume=353 | pages=1689–94 | year=1999 | issue=9165 |

| title=BCG immunotherapy of bladder cancer: 20 years on. | url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0140673698074224}}</ref>
| |
| BCG immunotherapy is effective in up to 2/3 of the cases at this stage. Instillations of [[chemotherapy]] into the bladder can also be used to treat superficial disease.
| |
| | |
| Untreated, superficial tumors may gradually begin to infiltrate the muscular wall of the bladder. Tumors that infiltrate the bladder require more radical surgery where part or all of the bladder is removed (a [[cystectomy]]) and the urinary stream is diverted. In some cases, skilled surgeons can create a substitute bladder (a neobladder) from a segment of intestinal tissue, but this largely depends upon patient preference, age of patient, [[renal function]], and the site of the disease.
| |
| | |
| A combination of [[radiation]] and [[chemotherapy]] can also be used to treat invasive disease. It has not yet been determined how the effectiveness of this form of treatment compares to that of radical ablative surgery.
| |
| | |
| There is weak observational evidence from one very small study (84) to suggest that the concurrent use of [[statin]]s is associated with failure of BCG immunotherapy.<ref>{{cite journal | volume=355 | pages=2705–7 | year=2006 | issue=25 |

| ==Epidemiology==
| |
| In the United States, bladder cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in men and the ninth most common cancer in women. More than 47,000 men and 16,000 women are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year. One reason for its higher incidence in men is that the [[androgen receptor]], which is much more active in men than in women, plays a major part in the development of the cancer.<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Scientists Find One Reason Why Bladder Cancer Hits More Men | date=April 20 2007 | publisher=University of Rochester Medical Center | url =http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/pr/news/story.cfm?id=1436 | work = | pages = | is who want kill others accessdate = 2007-04-20 | language = }}</ref>
