Bladder Cancer (cont.)

Prevention

No sure way exists to prevent bladder cancer. You can reduce your risk factors, however.

  • If you smoke, quit. However, the risk of bladder cancer does not diminish.

  • Avoid unsafe exposures to chemicals in the workplace. If your work involves chemicals, make sure you are protected.

Drinking plenty of fluids may dilute any cancer-causing substances in the bladder and may help flush them out before they can cause damage.
