Fight Bladder Cancer is a UK-based bladder cancer charity founded and run by bladder cancer patients and their families / carers.
We provide personal support anyone affected by bladder cancer in the U.K. We also help raise public awareness, support medical research, and campaign to influence policy at the highest levels to bring about improvements in bladder cancer treatments.
We may be a small organisation in relative terms, but we are one with big ambitions and for good reason.
The number of people in the UK living with bladder cancer currently exceeds 100,000 and with around 20,000 new cases each year, despite a 16% reduction in instances over the past decade, early diagnosis and treatment remain a key challenge.
Our patient support work is endorsed by patients, their families and by medical professionals alike and is recognised as being the leading source of information about Bladder Cancer for patients, carers and practitioners.
The key to our success has been that we are a patient-led organisation and one that seeks to put the patient-voice at the heart of the public health policy and funding debate. We can point to having achieved tangible success in influencing the improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.
