Fight Bladder Cancer shared developments within urinary biomarker tests for bladder cancer with the BBC.

Fight Bladder Cancer is a dynamic, patient-led charity which, though small, has a big influence both domestically and internationally. Everyone affected by bladder cancer – patients, carers, family and friends – can come to us for support, information and advice. We ensure that someone is speaking up for these people when key decisions are made about policy, care, and research. We continue to work hard delivering the legacy of Andrew Winterbottom, a determined bladder cancer patient who saw the lack of patient leadership for bladder cancer in the UK and worked with his wife to form this charity from their garden shed in 2009. The charity has continued to grow its footprint and is reaching more patients, family-members, and healthcare professionals than ever before. We’re the only UK-based bladder cancer charity founded and governed by bladder cancer survivors and their families. We’re here to explain the medical jargon, give the facts and figures, share our tips, and tell our stories. We support everyone affected by bladder cancer, we help to raise awareness, support medical research, and we campaign to affect policy at the highest levels to bring about change. Our aim is to achieve better outcomes and quality of life for all those affected.
