What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

Blood in the urine is often the only sign of bladder cancer. Sometimes the blood is not visible. It can only be detected when a urine sample is tested. Some people will have symptoms similar to a urinary tract infection, such as painful urination and an urgent need to urinate frequently. If the cancer has metastasized, then the symptoms will be related to the area affected.
