bladder cancer screenings

Bladder cancer screening involves tests to detect cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Common methods include urine tests that look for blood or abnormal cells, and imaging tests like cystoscopy, where a thin camera evaluates the bladder’s interior. These screenings are typically recommended for individuals at higher risk, such as older adults, smokers, or those with a history of bladder issues. The goal is early detection to improve treatment outcomes. Screening decisions are personalized and should be discussed with a healthcare provider to determine if and when they’re appropriate.
