Ureter is a tube-like structure that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Cells of the ureter or renal pelvis undergo changes (mutation), resulting in the transformation into cancer cells. These cells divide and grow uncontrollably.
Although uncommon, it mostly occurs in older adults and people who have previously been treated for bladder cancer. That said, the common types of ureteral cancer include urothelial carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
