What is Bladder cancer? Bladder cancer is a disease that affects the bladder, an elastic organ that is responsible for storing urine that is released by the kidneys. It is the fifth most common type of cancer in the U.S. and when diagnosed in the early stages, it is highly treatable. There are several types of Bladder cancer, some being more common then others. The most common type of bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma, accounting for about 90% of bladder cancer cases. The remaining types of bladder cancer are considered rare. They include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphoma, and, melanoma. Symptoms of Bladder Cancer The most common symptoms of Bladder cancer include: • Blood or blood clots in the urine (hematuria). Hematuria occurs in 80% to 90% of people who have Bladder cancer and is the most common symptom. Usually it is not painful. • Pain during urination (dysuria). • Urinating small amounts frequently. • Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Symptoms that may indicate more advanced Bladder cancer include: • Pain in the lower back around the kidneys (flank pain). • Swelling in the lower legs. • A growth in the pelvis near the bladder (pelvic mass). Other symptoms that may develop when Bladder cancer has spread include: • Weight loss. • Bone pain or pain in the rectal, anal, or pelvic area. • Anemia.

Radiation therapy Radiation therapy can be prescribed to treat the disease and also to ease symptoms caused by the Bladder cancer (palliative).
