How is mild bladder wall thickening different than other types of wall thickening in terms of the causes? is mild bladder wall thickening a concern for cancer?

I've just answered your question. No, mild bladder wall thickening is a relatively common CT or US finding, especially in people who had bladder infection in the past.

Bladder wall thickening usually occurs when there is some obstruction to the outflow of urine. Mild thickening is nothing to worry about and is not from cancer
