Although few people have heard of it, bladder cancer isn’t rare – it’s one of the 10 most common cancers in the UK with, in total, over 20,500 people diagnosed each year. This is around 5% of all new cancer diagnoses and affecting all ages, with almost three-quarters of cases occurring in men.
Diagnosis can sometimes be late and most people often don’t know what symptoms to look out for. Many patients tell us that the first they heard of bladder cancer was when they were told they had it.
Action Bladder Cancer UK works to raise awareness of bladder cancer and to provide support and information for patients and their families. There’s a wide range of information about bladder cancer on our website and many free resources. We provide direct patient support by phone and email and set up and sustain patient support groups around the country (in person or online). As well as supporting patients, ABC UK funds and supports research into bladder cancer.
