Bladder cancer: a silent killer that must be recognized quickly

Bladder cancer is an often misunderstood yet formidable disease. Nicknamed “the silent killer,” it can develop discreetly, without obvious symptoms in the early stages. It is precisely this lack of clear signs that makes it dangerous, as diagnosis is often made late, when the disease has already progressed. Knowing the warning signs is therefore essential for rapid and effective treatment.

Why is bladder cancer so dangerous?

The bladder is an organ located in the lower abdomen, whose main role is to store urine before it is evacuated. When abnormal cells develop in its inner wall, they can form a malignant tumor. If not detected in time, this tumor can spread to other organs and cause serious complications.

The risk is all the greater as certain factors promote the appearance of bladder cancer:

Tobacco: the main risk factor, responsible for more than half of cases.

Occupational exposure to certain chemicals (dyes, solvents, industries).

Chronic urinary tract infections.
