Invasive bladder cancer, stage II, muscle damage. This illustration shows a woman's bladder with a stage II invasive cancerous tumor at the top right of the bladder wall. From there starts a zoom at the level of the bladder wall with all its structures which shows the appearance of this stage II tumor, represented in white. From bottom to top we have the bladder cavity, the epithelium (bluish gray cells), the connective tissue, the muscle consisting of three layers and finally the tissue that surrounds the bladder, here the parietal peritoneum. At this stage of the cancer, the tumor invades the bladder muscle. This stage II is divided into two stages. In the T2a stage, the tumor reaches the lower half of the bladder muscle. While in the T2b stage, the tumor reaches the outer half of the bladder muscle. So in this drawing, we have a T2b stage tumor. - Restriction : Exclusive to pharmaceutical laboratories in Belgium. from 04/26/2020
