“Bladder cancer is the sixth most common type of cancer in the United States. In 2026, approximately 84,530 people are estimated to receive a diagnosis of bladder cancer, and some 17,870 people are expected to die from it, according to estimates by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

Bladder cancer is most likely to affect white men. In fact, the incidence rate of bladder cancer is four times higher among men than among women. It is also about twice as high in white males compared with Black, Hispanic, or Asian/Pacific Islander men.”
