Bladder Cancer Information Center
Each year in the United States, more than 51,000 men and more than 17,000 women are diagnosed with bladder cancer. Thanks to improvements in treatment, bladder cancer patients are living longer than ever before. It is estimated that there are more than 500,000 bladder cancer survivors in the U.S. today.
Advances in surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy
have all contributed to improved bladder cancer survival. In addition, advances in supportive care have made bladder cancer treatment more tolerable, leading to improved quality of life.
Understanding bladder cancer treatment options, the role of different doctors specializing in the treatment of bladder cancer, and how and when to access new and innovative bladder cancer treatment options available through clinical trials is essential in order to achieve the best outcome from bladder cancer treatment.
The Cancer Consultants Bladder Cancer Information Center has been designed to help patients understand bladder cancer and bladder cancer treatment options while providing ongoing information, inspiration, support, and community to individuals affected by a diagnosis of bladder cancer.
