Does white cells in urine mean cancer?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Not as only finding. Almost always we worry about infection 1st. Any inflammation along bladder, ureter, even kidney may be reason. Without clear explanation further eval of urogenital & gyn tract may be considered.

Rarely: White cells are a sign that there is inflammation in your urogenital tract but a simple urinary tract infection (UTI) is by far the most common cause.
