What is Ureteral Cancer?
  • Cancer of the ureter (ureteral cancer) is an
    abnormal growth of cells on the inside lining of
    the tubes (ureters) that join your kidneys to
    your bladder. Ureters are part of the urinary
    tract, and they carry urine made by the kidneys
    to the bladder.
  • Ureteral cancer is unusual. It happens most often
    in older adults and in people who have previously
    been treated for bladder cancer.
  • Ureteral cancer is closely associated with
    bladder cancer. The cells that line the ureters
    are the same kind of cells that line the inside
    of the bladder. People diagnosed with ureteral
    cancer have a greatly increased risk of bladder
    cancer, so your doctor will suggest tests to look
    for signs of bladder cancer.
  • Treatment for ureteral cancer generally involves
    surgery. In certain situations, chemotherapy or
    immunotherapy might be suggested.

Symptoms Of Ureteral Cancer
  • Signs and symptoms of ureteral cancer are
  • Blood in urine
  • Back pain
  • Pain when urinating
  • Losing weight without trying
  • Fatigue
  • When should you see a doctor?
  • Book an appointment with your doctor if you have
    any persistent signs and symptoms that worry you.

4
Causes Of Ureteral Cancer
  • It is not clear what causes ureteral cancer.
  • Ureteral cancer occurs when cells on the inside
    lining of the ureter develop changes (mutations)
    in their DNA. A cell's DNA contains the
    information that tells a cell what to do. The
    changes tell the cells to multiply quickly and to
    continue living beyond their typical life cycle.
    The result is a growing mass of abnormal cells
    that could grow to block the ureter or spread to
    other areas of the body.
