Video Summary

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), also known as urothelial cell carcinoma, is a type of cancer that affects the transitional cells that line the bladder, ureters, and renal pelvis. It is the most common type of bladder cancer, and can cause symptoms such as blood in the urine, painful urination, frequent urination, and back or abdominal pain. TCC is typically treated with a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, and the prognosis depends on the stage and location of the cancer, as well as the individual's overall health. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of recovery and long-term survival.
