World-wide there is estimated to be more than 430,000 people who are newly diagnosed with bladder cancer each year and 165,000 will die from the disease. Yet, until 2018, there was not one single organisation to speak as the global voice for people living with bladder cancer. The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition is an association bringing together representatives of national bladder cancer organisations.
