Bladder (urinary bladder) is an organ where urine filtered from the kidneys accumulates. They have the function of storing and excreting urine. Cancer can be seen in some cases, especially after the age of 40. It is among the most common cancers seen in our country. It most commonly manifests itself with bleeding in the urine in patients. In addition, many complaints ranging from frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and even kidney failure may be observed. It is seen much more frequently in men than in women. The most common cause is smoking. Occupational groups exposed to chemicals (paint, textile, chemical industry, tire and rubber industry) are at risk. 70% of bladder tumors are detected at an early stage. Treatment of bladder tumors detected at an early stage is performed by cystoscopy and resection (closed surgery). In late and widespread disease, much more difficult treatments are applied and the risk of death increases. For this reason, it is vital that people with complaints related to this disease get diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Expert centers and physicians should be consulted on this subject.
