💙 Bladder Cancer Awareness Month is here, and we're joining the fight to make a difference. Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the United States, yet it often doesn't receive the attention it deserves. #BladderCancerAwareness #FightForACure

💙 Bladder Cancer Awareness Month is here, and we're joining the fight to make a difference. Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the United States, yet it often doesn't receive the attention it deserves. #BladderCancerAwareness #FightForACure

Bladder cancer starts when cells in the urinary bladder start to grow out of control. As more cancer cells develop, they can form a tumor and, with time, might spread to other parts of the body.

The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower pelvis. Its main job is to store urine. Urine is liquid waste made by the kidneys and then carried to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The wall of the bladder is made up of several layers (see image). When you urinate, the muscles in the wall of the bladder contract, and urine is forced out of the bladder through a tube called the urethra.
