Bladder Cancer Support Groups And Community Outreach According to the National Cancer Institute, the prevalence of bladder cancer in the U.S. has surpassed that of lung cancer. This cancer is linked to smoking and occupational exposure to chemicals, yet if detected early, this cancer is very treatable.
