Our research into bladder cancer
120 years of life-saving discoveries
Our scientists have been at the forefront of cancer research since 1902.
Thanks to you, we’ve come so far. And we will go much further.
Together, we will beat cancer.
Our research is saving lives
Our research into bladder cancer has played an important role in improving treatments for patients and boosting survival. Today, around half of people diagnosed with bladder cancer will survive their disease for at least a decade.
Current research
From studying the biology of bladder cancer cells in the lab to leading clinical trials testing cutting-edge treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more people survive bladder cancer.
Past research
Thanks to research, we’ve helped change the outlook for people with bladder cancer.
Patients' stories
Meet people like Tommy who have experienced first-hand how our research is making a difference. The life-saving research we do wouldn’t be possible without your support.
Further information
Our strategy
Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive.
We want to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.
