Overview
Classification
In the United States, bladder cancers usually start from the cells lining the bladder (called transitional cells).
These tumors are classified based on the way they grow:
- Papillary tumors have a wart-like appearance and are attached to a stalk.
- Nonpapillary (sessile) tumors are much less common. However, they are more invasive and have a worse outcome.
