Remembering Andrew Winterbottom
It is with great sadness that today we remember the passing of Andrew Winterbottom one year ago on this date. Andrew was a strong and passionate patient advocate in bladder cancer worldwide; and a friend and ally to many in the bladder cancer community. To honour his life’s mission, a start-up guide for bladder cancer patient organisations has been launched on this day by WBCPC.

New global bladder cancer patient organisation is established
For the first time in history, people affected by bladder cancer – the 10th most common cancer in the world – will have a voice in the newly established World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition. This marks the first global bladder cancer umbrella organisation.
Treatment, research and support for bladder cancer patients varies widely across the globe and even within countries. It’s critical that we mobilise bladder cancer patient organisations across the world to help ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
