Top 10 hospitals by bladder cancer diagnoses
Bladder cancer is a common type of cancer that occurs when cells that make up the urinary bladder start to grow out of control. As more cancer cells develop, they can form a tumor and, with time, spread to other parts of the body. Bladder cancer is fairly common and highly treatable with around 57,000 men and 18,000 women being diagnosed each year, according to the CDC.

How is bladder cancer diagnosed?
There are multiple methods used to test for and diagnose bladder cancer, the most common being a urine test. Doctors will examine a urine sample to detect any cancer cells within and will usually study the sample under a microscope.
If bladder cancer is suspected, most doctors will recommend a cystoscopy. This is when a urologist uses a cystoscope, which is a long, thin, flexible tube with a light and a lens or a small video camera on the end. They use this tool to physically examine the bladder and determine if any signs of the disease are visible.
Once bladder cancer is detected, there are a wide variety of treatments to slow the disease. The 5- year survival rate for bladder cancer is 77%, and the survival rate if the cancer has not spread beyond the inner layer of the bladder is 96%.
