Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is a common malignancy affecting the urinary bladder. Risk factors include smoking and exposure to certain chemicals. Timely diagnosis and various treatment options are essential for managing this disease.

Symptoms

Bladder cancer usually doesn’t have signs or symptoms in its early stages. With time, signs and symptoms may develop, including:

Blood in urine (hematuria), which may cause urine to appear bright red or cola colored, though sometimes the urine appears normal and blood is detected on a lab test
Frequent urination
Painful urination
Back pain

Causes

Bladder cancer begins when cells in the bladder develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. A cell’s DNA contains instructions that tell the cell what to do. The changes tell the cell to multiply rapidly and to go on living when healthy cells would die. The abnormal cells form a tumor that can invade and destroy normal body tissue. In time, the abnormal cells can break away and spread (metastasize) through the body.

RIsk Factors

Factors that can increase the risk of bladder cancer include:

Smoking
Increasing age
Exposure to certain chemicals
Previous cancer treatment
Chronic bladder inflammation
Personal or family history of cancer.

Prevention

Although there’s no guaranteed way to prevent bladder cancer, you can take steps to help reduce your risk. For instance:

Quit smoking
Take caution around chemicals
Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables
