Bladder Cancer UK

Bladder Cancer is not a rare cancer.  It is the 7th most common cancer in the UK - the 4th most common cancer in men. Over 10,700 people in the UK are diagnosed each year and about half of those diagnosed will die - over 5,200 people each year.  Bladder cancer has the highest recurrence rate of any known cancer - up to 80%.  It can affect all ages, both men and women. Diagnosis can often be late, particularly in women. Despite this, bladder cancer is the only top 10 cancer where rates of prognosis are getting worse. 


We want bladder cancer to be recognised as a common cancer and to receive the acknowledgement, level of public awareness, improvements in treatments and medical research investment which it merits and which those with bladder cancer deserve. 

We have three main strands to our work:

  • Improving outcomes for bladder cancer patients
  • Improving research into bladder cancer
  • Improving patient support

Please note we can not advise you on a individual medical issue, however our website contains a host of information, advice and guidance on the matter, sign up to our newsletter and details of local support groups.

Our Bladder Cancer Facebook page and website are useful sources of information.

For any additional support please get in touch.
