Bladder Cancer - What it is

Bladder cancer: What it is

The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower pelvis. It has flexible, muscular walls that can stretch to hold urine and squeeze to send it out of the body. The bladder's main job is to store urine.

Bladder cancer is where a growth of abnormal tissue, known as a tumour, develops in the bladder lining. In some cases, the tumour spreads into the bladder muscle.

Bladder cancer is more common in men and in those who are older (the median age at diagnosis is 69 years).
