Bladder cancer is a urinary system cancer, primarily afflicting older men. Smoking is the most significant risk factor. Symptoms include hematuria, urinary frequency or urinary urgency. Cystoscopy, radiologic techniques and biopsy results help health care providers diagnose, treat and monitor the disease. The prognosis of bladder cancer depends upon the invasiveness of the tumor and the extent of spread in the pelvic cavity. Treatment includes surgery, drug therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or combinations thereof.
