Bladder cancer

The main condition of interest in urinary bladder cytologies and biopsies is bladder cancer. 95% of bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinoma (also called urothelial carcinoma).[1]

If cancer is detected during microscopy:

  • Determine the histopathological type of cancer
  • Perform grading and staging

Urothelial carcinoma

Low grade
High grade
Variants

Non-urothelial cancers

The other 5% of urinary bladder cancer types are squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas, sarcomas, small cell carcinomas, and secondary deposits from cancers elsewhere in the body.[1]

Staging

In the TNM staging system (AJCC 8th Edn. 2017) for bladder cancer:[2][3]

T (Primary tumor)

  • TX Primary tumor cannot be assessed
  • T0 No evidence of primary tumor
  • Ta Non-invasive papillary carcinoma
  • Tis Carcinoma in situ ('flat tumor')
  • T1 Tumur invades subepithelial connective tissue
  • T2a Tumour invades superficial muscle (inner half of the detrusor muscle)[4]
  • T2b Tumour invades deep muscle (outer half of the detrusor muscle)[4]
  • T3 Tumor invades perivesical tissue:
    • T3a Microscopically
    • T3b Macroscopically (extravesical mass)
  • T4a Tumor invades prostate, uterus or vagina
  • T4b Tumor invades pelvic wall or abdominal wall

N (Lymph nodes)

  • NX Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed
  • N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
  • N1 Metastasis in a single lymph node in true pelvis (hypogastric, obturator, external iliac, or presacral nodes)
  • N2 Metastasis in multiple lymph nodes in true pelvis (hypogastric, obturator, external iliac, or presacral nodes)
  • N3 Metastasis in common iliac lymph nodes

M (Distant metastasis) Can be performed if tissues have been submitted from distant sites.

  • MX Distant metastasis cannot be assessed
  • M0 No distant metastasis
  • M1 Distant metastasis.
    • M1a: The cancer has spread only to lymph nodes outside of the pelvis.
    • M1b: The cancer has spread other parts of the body.

Microscopy report

  • Histopathologic type of cancer
  • Grade
  • Stage
