Abstract:
Transitional-cell cancer accounts for 90% of the histological types of cancer of the urinary bladder. This tumor most often spreads towards the lymph nodes, lung and bones, but other much more infrequent metastatic sites such as the orbit, have also been described. We report on 2 patients with transitional-cell bladder tumors that developed metastases to the orbit.

Metastasis
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
Disorders of the Urinary System
