The bladder is the organ that stores the urine filtered from the kidneys and allows the urine to be released. It is one of the most common types of cancer that occurs. It is more common in men in the adult age group than in women. It is a cancer that is very treatable thanks to early diagnosis and does not result in death very often. The most common symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. This bleeding is called hematuria and is not continuous. It can be seen sporadically and sporadically. In addition to this symptom, if conditions such as burning sensation and difficulty during urination, blood in the form of clots with urine, constant urination, weakness, weight loss, mass and pain in the groin area are observed, a doctor should be consulted without delay. Apart from these symptoms, if the disease spreads to other organs or tissues, other symptoms may occur depending on the area where it spreads. For example, the patient begins to experience bone pain as a sign of cancer spreading to the skeletal system.

Bladder cancer treatment is based on the size, type and location of the tumor. In early-stage cancers, if the cancer cells are low-grade, TUR treatment (cleaning the cancer cells by applying electric current) is performed using cystoscopy. If the cancer cells have progressed to the muscle tissues, the bladder must be removed unless it has spread to other tissues. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatments may also be applied in the treatment of other bladder cancers, depending on the type.
