Our research into bladder cancer has played an important role in improving treatments for patients and boosting survival. Today, around half of people diagnosed with bladder cancer will survive their disease for at least a decade.
From studying the biology of bladder cancer cells in the lab to leading clinical trials testing cutting-edge treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more people survive bladder cancer.
Thanks to research, we’ve helped change the outlook for people with bladder cancer.
Meet people like Tommy who have experienced first-hand how our research is making a difference. The life-saving research we do wouldn’t be possible without your support.
Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive.We want to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.
