Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the bladder, the organ responsible for storing urine. Most bladder cancers start in the innermost lining of the bladder and are often diagnosed at an early stage. Common symptoms of bladder cancer include blood in the urine, frequent urination, pain during urination, and lower back pain.

Risk factors for bladder cancer include smoking, exposure to certain chemicals, chronic bladder inflammation, and a family history of the disease. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, urine tests, and a biopsy of the bladder tissue.

Treatment options for bladder cancer depend on the stage and grade of the cancer and may include surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Early detection and prompt treatment contribute to better outcomes, and ongoing monitoring is often necessary to prevent recurrence. As with many cancers, lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation and overall health maintenance play a role in reducing the risk of bladder cancer.
