Abstract
Pulmonary Metastasis Due to Superficial Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Urinary Bladder, A Rare Case Report and Literature Review
Highlights
TCC is the most common malignant neoplasm of urinary tract
Due to recent advances in chemotherapy and early diagnosis survival rate has increased significantly in patients with urinary bladder cancer and this has led to increase in the number of patients developing a second primary cancer which is almost 16% according to NC I surveillance [3]
Urinary bladder cancer is more common in smokers and in those who are exposed to aromatic amines e.g. working in paint, iron and aluminum, printing, tar and gas industries [4]
Summary
TCC is the most common malignant neoplasm of urinary tract. American cancer society reported 68,810 new cases of TCC in 2008. Seventy percent of newly diagnosed TCC cases have superficial disease (stage Ta, T1, or carcinoma in situ) [2]. Due to recent advances in chemotherapy and early diagnosis survival rate has increased significantly in patients with urinary bladder cancer and this has led to increase in the number of patients developing a second primary cancer which is almost 16% according to NC I surveillance [3]. The stage and grade of TCC has great impact on survival and prognosis.
