There are different types of bladder cancer named after the type of cell the cancer first occurs in and how far it has spread. These include: transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). This type of cancer is the most common bladder cancer and develops in the top layer of cells that line the bladder wall. These cells come into contact with waste products in the urine that may cause cancer. A second type of bladder cancer is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This type of cancer develops in the flat cells that line the bladder wall. Adenocarcinoma is a very rare type of bladder cancer that develops in the mucus-producing cells that line the bladder wall.
