Where you live should not determine whether you survive bladder cancer.
60% of cases occur in lower-income EU countries, where patients face later diagnosis and fewer treatment options.
Access to treatment starts with access to information.

#Cancercare does not stop after treatment. For people living with #bladdercancer, survivorship means navigating real physical, emotional and social change. Quality of life must be part of the conversation from the very beginning. #PatientSupport #BCLEAR

🚭 Did you know smoking makes you up to 3x more likely to develop #bladdercancer?

It is the 5th most common cancer in Europe, yet many people still do not know the warning signs.
🩸 Blood in urine should never be ignored. Recognise it. Act fast.

👩 Women are more likely to be diagnosed later with #bladdercancer. Symptoms like blood in urine are too often mistaken for UTIs, menopause, or something less serious 🩸
