Today, we are thrilled to launch our Spanish edition of the Start-up guide for bladder cancer patient groups, which is an important step in our outreach and community plans for Latin America.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates that 573,278 people will be diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2020 around the world, placing bladder cancer as the 10th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world.

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition joined over 100 participants from civil society, patient groups and people living with NCDs for an informal consultation with the WHO.

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition is proud to support The Code, which sets out ten key overarching rights, signposting what patients should expect from their health system, for them to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Today marks the re-launch of WBCPC’s newly developed website. The hope for this website is to serve as a tool for the global bladder cancer patient community, offering support and resources, and providing bladder cancer patient community with the information and guidance that they need.

This year’s virtual global gathering brought together leaders in bladder cancer research, advocacy, patient organisations and the pharmaceutical industry from 25 countries worldwide to explore the topic: What action is needed to place bladder cancer higher on the global health policy agenda?

WBCPCP2020 series captures the highlights of our Annual Meeting, in a series of two articles and provides inspiration for moving bladder cancer advocacy forward.

This year we are meeting virtually and hope to bring our event to an even wider global audience. The WBCPC 2020 Annual Meeting theme is “Ensuring bladder cancer is on the global health policy agenda”

In response to the global pandemic currently affecting people across the world, several cancer charities have come together to develop a joint statement on COVID-19 and cancer. Collectively we are calling for a global plan of action for cancer to meet the challenges and protect cancer patients from future pandemics or health crises.
