Delayed Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer
Approximately 600,000 people globally were diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2020. Bladder cancer is responsible for an estimated 200,000 or more deaths every year worldwide. The success of treatment and long-term survival for patients with bladder cancer depends in large part on diagnosis as early as possible. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of bladder cancer is often delayed, and progression or spread of the disease occurs without treatment.
