Stage IV bladder cancer in humans, tumor invasion with metastases. The illustration to the right of the drawing represents the general anatomy in a male silhouette in an anatomical position from the front. It shows the brain, lungs, heart, liver, bladder, pelvic bone and lymphatic systems. While the skeleton, the digestive system, the muscular system and the arteriovenous network are just suggested. This illustration highlights the sites of target organs that may be affected by metastases from stage IV bladder cancer. It is therefore a question of the brain, the lungs, the liver, the bones in which dis secondary cancers can develop. From the bladder, zoom in on the left side of the drawing, showing stage IV bladder cancer (primary cancer). The bladder is shown in section in the pelvic cavity to show the extent of tumor invasion. The tumor invaded the entire wall of the bladder and spread inside and beyond outside into the pelvic cavity. The vessels are affected, as well as the lymphatic system. Metastases can then at this stage migrate via the arterial system to other organs. They will then become dormant metastases and may cause secondary cancers in the following organs: brain, lungs, heart, liver. - Restriction : Exclusive to pharmaceutical laboratories in Belgium. from 04/26/2020
