Pulmonary manifestations of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder
Urothelial carcinoma (Transitional cell carcinoma) of the bladder is the pre-dominant histological type of bladder cancer in the United States and Europe. Patients with bladder cancer usually present with painless hematuria. The diagnosis is often delayed, as the symptoms are similar to various other benign conditions such as urinary tract infection, prostatitis or renal calculi. In some patients, the metastatic lesions will cause the initial presenting symptoms. We conducted a MedLine/PubMED search identifying all relevant articles with “pulmonary manifestations”, “urothelial bladder cancer”, “manifestations of bladder cancer” or a combination of these terms in the title.
