Bladder cancer: Research ensures ongoing improvement in patient care
HOUSTON -- (July 12, 2010) --
Bladder cancer may not be one of the most talked about forms of cancer, but is one of the most commonly diagnosed - fourth in men and ninth in women. Many people are unaware of what causes bladder cancer, how it is detected and treated. There are major research efforts underway to help improve early detection and provide more effective, targeted treatment.
Clinicians and researchers from Baylor College of Medicine are helping to increase awareness about the disease by addressing important topics including:
- Early diagnosis key in managing, treating bladder cancer
- New imaging dye may improve early detection of bladder cancer
- BCM researchers leading efforts in bladder cancer research
- Bladder cancer 'coaches' could help patients navigate disease
- Older men with smoking history needed for bladder cancer screening study
