Cancer is a serious ailment in which cells divide and grow out of control. This uninhibited growth can lead to severe medical problems. A person’s health can be severely compromised by the onset of cancer. There are hundreds of types of cancers. Each type is named for where it originated. If a cancer originates in the lungs, it is a lung cancer. Likewise, if it begins in a person’s bladder, it is bladder cancer. Bladder cancer is a particularly dangerous form of cancer because of the ease at which it can spread to other areas of a person’s body. Bladder cancer can be invasive or can metastasize to other regions of the body. Invasive cancers are incredibly dangerous because they grow into healthy tissues. As healthy cells die off, they are replaced by cancer cells that do not serve the function normal cells would. This causes the organs to lose some of their functionality, which can have devastating consequences on a person’s health. Cancer cells that metastasize can break away from the original tumor and spread to other parts of the body through blood vessels or other bodily means of transport. They can grow away from the original tumors and invade other parts of the body from these new places. However, not tumors are malignant, or dangerous. Some tumors are benign, meaning they cannot spread or invade. These tumors are not life threatening, but should still be taken care of. The Type-2 diabetes drug Actos has been shown to increase a person’s chances of developing bladder cancer. If you took Actos and have since been diagnosed with bladder cancer, the Actos lawsuit attorneys of Williams Kherkher can help you hold the pharmaceutical company accountable for it’s negligent release of this dangerous drug.
