The first World Bladder Cancer Patient Forum took place virtually on September 22, bringing together over 150 registered attendees from 35 countries.
The Forum brought together leading voices from around the world. The panel discussed the role of patient voice from research design to treatment and care. The multi-stakeholder panel also explored the challenges of including patients’ voices in research design, bladder cancer care, and in driving policy change in areas concerning people affected by bladder cancer.
«This summary report documents the discussions had, and ideas generated. The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition aims to play a positive role in ensuring the patient voice is always accounted for in everything we do as a healthcare and patient advocacy community.

The report highlights and further strengthens the need for international multi-stakeholder collaboration to achieve the common goal of improving the lives of people affected by bladder cancer around the world.
