Despite being the 4th most common cancer in men and the 11th most common in women, over half the people surveyed across Great Britain have no idea of the risk factors for developing bladder cancer.
Only 5% think smoking and 1% think using chemicals at work cause it, when, in fact, these are the two main risk factors for bladder cancer. The most common symptom of, or warning sign for, bladder cancer is blood in the urine, but only half of those surveyed mentioned this.
