Treatment that can double bladder cancer survival rates available to 1,000 patients in England

The article discusses a new treatment option for bladder cancer patients in England. The treatment has been found to double the survival rates for people with the disease that has spread. It is now available to over 1,000 patients in England. Bladder cancer is a significant health concern, with around 18,000 people diagnosed in England each year. However, the prognosis for those with stage 4 bladder cancer is quite poor, with only 10% surviving five years or more after diagnosis. The new treatment, which is hailed as "hopeful," can significantly improve the outlook for these patients. It is expected to provide a much-needed boost in the treatment options and survival rates for those living with advanced bladder cancer in England.
