Bladder cancer is often diagnosed late
Bladder cancer is usually diagnosed late, because in the early stages often no complaints are noticeable. The main indication is blood in the urine, which can either be seen with the naked eye or detected in the laboratory. In late-stage bladder cancer usually causes pain when urinating because either a urinary retention or a renal congestion occurs. In addition, it comes to pain in the bladder or flank pain. According to health experts, the prospect of recovery depends crucially on the tumor's already existing extent at the start of treatment. According to the German Cancer Society, bladder cancer is one of the more common cancers, with almost 16,000 new cases annually in Germany. Men are affected more than three times as often as women.
