Ureteral cancer can metastasize to the kidney, bladder, bone, etc. Ureteral
cancer is classified into benign and malignant tumors. If it is a benign tumor of the ureter, it is not invasive or metastatic. However, if it is a malignant tumor of the ureter, i.e., ureteral cancer, the cancer cells in the advanced stage of the disease may metastasize to other parts, including kidney, bladder, bone, etc., through blood metastasis, lymph node metastasis, direct invasion, etc., thus causing discomfort related to the metastatic site. For example, metastasis to the kidney can cause renal colic, hematuria and other symptoms.
