Frank Splain, Jr. Bladder cancer survivor and Dr. Matthew Kaag, Chief, Division of Urologic Oncology. Frank shares his journey with bladder cancer.
Cancer of the bladder is the fourth most common cancer among men and is in the top 10 most common cancers among women in the United States. Bladder cancer is typically found in older people - usually around age 65. It is uncommon for people younger than 40 to develop bladder cancer.
The American Cancer Society estimates that around 79,030 new cases of bladder cancer will be diagnosed in 2017. They also estimate that roughly 16,870 people will die from this type of cancer each year.
Penn State Cancer Institute has a team of doctors and other health care providers who specialize in the treatment for bladder cancer. This cancer team works together closely to make the diagnosis and determine the best treatment options for each bladder cancer patient.
