Kidney and Bladder Cancer

Book Appointment

Bladder cancer develops when healthy cells present in the lining of the bladder, most often urothelial cells (cells lining the urinary tract), change and grow abnormally, forming a tumour. Kidney cancer describes instances where a tumour develops in the kidney. 

When to seek expert advice

Visit a doctor immediately if you see traces of blood in your urine. Although blood in urine is not always indicative of cancer, the doctor will carry out further investigations to rule out the possibility. Blood loss in the urine may lead to anaemia and consequential fatigue. If unresolved fatigue is bothering your performance, make an appointment with a consultant working with the Department of Oncology.
