The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition<\/strong> hosts this special month to raise awareness of the disease. The theme of this year\u2019s edition \u201cFeeling unsure? Get checked.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d <\/em>is to bring attention to the misrepresentation of symptoms and to encourage people to re-evaluate their symptoms [1]. In fact, some symptoms are not immediately linked to bladder cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n
