Transitional cell carcinoma (sometimes also called urothelial carcinoma) is cancer that forms in the cells of the urothelium. Bladder cancer gets worse when it grows into or through other layers of the bladder wall. Over time, the cancer may grow outside the bladder into tissues close by.
Carcinoma in situ (CIS or Tis) Carcinoma in situ (also called CIS or Tis) means very early, high grade cancer cells that are only in the innermost layer of the bladder lining. It is a non invasive cancer of the flat urothelial or transitional cells. These cells make up all the moist tissues that line your body organs.
