Bladder Cancer Facts

In 2010, Statistics Canada estimates that 7,100 people in Canada will be diagnosed with bladder cancer, making it the 6th most common cancer in Canada (5th most common among men, with 5,300 cases and 12th most common among women with 1,800 cases).

With a recurrence rate of nearly 80%, bladder cancer is the most expensive cancer to treat on a per patient basis, and the high recurrence rate raises many issues affecting quality of life because of its persistence

MISSION STATEMENT

A national organization helping bladder cancer patients and their support team in the day-to-day issues with the disease. To raise awareness of bladder cancer among the general public and medical community; to advocate for allocation of government and private funds directed to the diagnosis, treatment and medical research to eliminate bladder cancer.

CBCAN First Annual Bladder Cancer Walk For Awareness

On October 2nd 2010 we will be doing a 5K walk to raise funds for CBCAN. The funds will be used for ongoing support of bladder cancer patients/caregivers and raising awareness of bladder cancer to the public. Early detection of bladder cancer will save bladders and lives.

Over 70,000 Canadians are currently being treated and or require ongoing check-ups, which makes bladder cancer the most expensive form of cancer per patient.

Your support and donation to this cause could save a life.
