Bladder cancer affects ten thousand people in the UK each year and has become one of the most common types of cancer. ‘Transitional cell’ bladder cancer is the commonest type of the cancer. This particular kind of cancer makes up about approximately 90 percent of all cases and can be separated into a pair of groups: superficial tumours and muscle invasive tumours.
Superficial tumours are the most common kind and occurs in approximately eighty percent of cases. Most of these tumours almost never spread and have a high chance of being cured.
Muscle invasive tumours account for 20% of cases, have a high chance of spreading and have comparatively low cure rates.
here are many contributory factors which can contribute towards bladder cancer, but one of the major links to cancer of the bladder is the exposure to certain chemicals in the workplace. The risk of bladder cancer also increases if you smoke, due to carcinogenic chemicals contained in tobacco.
People working in the manufacturing industry are believed most at risk of coming in contact with carcinogenic chemicals, in particular those working in jobs that involve working with textiles, leathers and plastics. People not working in manufacturing have also been identified as being at risk of developing bladder cancer through their work. Bus drivers, who’re routinely exposed to diesel fumes, have been identified as being at risk for this reason.
