Bladder cancer - A to Z
This page links to content about bladder cancer.
Bladder cancer affects over 10,200 people every year in the UK. It is more than twice as common in men as in women. Smoking is the main preventable cause of bladder cancer, although it can also be caused by exposure to certain chemicals that are now banned in the UK.
Survival from bladder cancer has risen steadily over recent decades, and more than eight out of ten people with early bladder cancer will survive.
