Bladder cancer hits women worse

WOMEN are being urged to watch for signs of bladder cancer, with health experts saying many mistake the illness for a less serious urine infection.

SURVIVAL rates for bladder cancer in women are about 10 per cent worse than for men, UK health experts have warned.

POSSIBLE reasons behind this include them being diagnosed later, and women are being urged to act promptly if they recognise any of the warning signs such as visible blood and pain while urinating, which can often be mistaken for a more minor urine infection.
