We are delighted to announce the first World Bladder Cancer Patient Forum 2021 and invite you to SAVE THE DATE for September 22 at 13:00 – 15:00 CEST.  Building on the success of last year’s virtual gathering, this year, we will continue the global conversation about bladder cancer in a new way.

The Annual Meeting of the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition is the only global gathering for the bladder cancer patient community.

A toolkit is launched today to support national bladder cancer patient groups

Bladder cancer groups across the globe, small and large, have an important role to play in improving the situation for patients and their families. It is WBCPC’s vision to establish a bladder cancer patient group in every country. There is still a long way to go, but strides have been made in the right direction.

There are so many things to consider when establishing a bladder cancer patient group, and it can be difficult to know where to start.
