Bladder cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the bladder lining grow uncontrollably, potentially affecting urinary function and overall health. Early diagnosis is key to effective treatment and improved outcomes. Our expert team uses cutting-edge diagnostic tools, minimally invasive surgery, chemotherapy, and personalized care plans to manage the disease.
