In 2013, the Canadian Cancer Society estimated that 7,900 people in Canada will be diagnosed with bladder cancer, making it the 5th most common cancer in Canada (4th most common among men, with 5,900 cases and 12th most common among women with 2,000 cases). With a recurrence rate of nearly 80%, bladder cancer is the most expensive cancer to treat on a per patient basis. The high recurrence rate raises many issues affecting quality of life because of its persistence.
Thank you to the hundreds of walkers, donors and volunteers from across Canada who helped to raise of $400,000 in support of their mission.
