Statistically, cancer of the urinary bladder appears to be most common in people between the ages of 50 and 70 years. This is a type of cancer that affects men more often than women. Studies show that it is more commonly experienced by Caucasians than African Americans.
Bladder cancer ranks fifth among the top ten cancers that affect males.
It is considered one of the most common malignant cancers and the tenth leading cause of cancer death. It manifests as a tumor of the bladder.
The most common symptom of bladder cancer is visible, painless hematuria or blood in the urine.
Treatment of bladder cancer depends on the grade of the tumor (the degree of cellular differentiation), the stage of tumor growth (the degree of local invasion and the presence or absence of metastasis), and the multicentricity (having many centers) of the tumor.
