Transitional cell carcinoma, also called urothelial carcinoma, is a type of cancer that typically occurs in the urinary system. It is the most common type of bladder cancer and cancer of the ureter, urethra, and urachus. It accounts for 95% of bladder cancer cases.[1][2]
It is the second most common type of kidney cancer, but accounts for only five to 10 percent of all primary renal malignant tumors.[3]
