Tcc is transitional cell carcinoma (transition cells are inside lining of bladder and ureter ), so essentially it means there is cancer like mass in distal (near the end) ureter, which is blocking/obstructing urine urine flow from kidney to bladder causing increased back pressure on kidney and will lead to kidney damage if urine flow is not restored, also to confirm if mass is cancerous, biopsy should be done.
