What Is Bladder Cancer?

Bladder cancer begins when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the bladder. In many cases, it is detected early because it often causes noticeable symptoms such as blood in the urine. Depending on how deeply the cancer has grown into the bladder wall, it may be non-muscle-invasive or muscle-invasive, each requiring a different treatment strategy.

Signs & Symptoms of Bladder Cancer

Early recognition of symptoms plays a crucial role in successful treatment. Common warning signs include:

  • Blood in urine (visible or microscopic)
  • Pain or burning during urination
  • Frequent urge to urinate
  • Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Difficulty passing urine
  • Unexplained weight loss or fatigue (advanced stages)

If any of these symptoms persist, immediate evaluation by an oncologist is essential.

Causes & Risk Factors

While bladder cancer may develop without a clear cause, several factors increase risk:

  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Long-term exposure to industrial chemicals
