The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK has released a new guideline. ICE’s first guideline on bladder cancer aims to improve the diagnosis and management of the seventh most common cancer in the UK, with over 10,000 cases of bladder cancer diagnosed each year.
The majority of cases occur in people aged over 60, with age being the main risk factor for bladder cancer. Smoking and exposure to some industrial chemicals - such as those used in the rubber and dye industries – can also increase the risk.
