Book Appointment

Bladder Cancer is the growth of cancerous cells in the bladder, the organ that stores urine. In certain cases, the cancer might spread over to or from the bladder into the ureter (the tract bridging bladder and kidney) or kidney itself.

 A history of smoking and working in certain industries increases the chances of developing the cancer. The disease is more prevalent in elderly and middle-aged people and men.​​
