When healthy cells in the bladder lining-most frequently urothelial cells—change and expand uncontrollably, forming a mass known as a tumour, bladder cancer develops. The renal pelvis, ureters, and urethra are all lined with urothelial cells. Another form of urothelial cancer, known as upper tract urothelial carcinoma, is cancer that originates in the renal pelvis and ureters. This guide describes how it is typically treated, which is quite similar to how bladder cancer is treated. A tumour may be benign or malignant. Malignant refers to the ability of a cancerous tumour to develop and metastasize to different body regions. If a tumour is benign, it can enlarge but won't spread. Rarely do benign bladder tumours occur.
