This section contains information about the symptoms and diagnostic stages of bladder cancer. The approach to hematuria, the most common presenting symptom in bladder cancer, is also emphasized. The effectiveness of screening in asymptomatic patients is still debated. Traditional methods continue to be reliably used in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. However, new imaging methods and markers, proven to enhance diagnostic success, are expected to be routinely used in diagnosis and follow-up.
