Urinary bladder cancer is a prevalent urological malignancy that starts in the cells lining the bladder. Dr. Krutik Raval, a leading uro-oncologist at Uro-Care Hospital, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary bladder cancer, offering patients personalized care and advanced treatment options.

Frequent Urination: Increased urgency and frequency of urination.
Pelvic Pain: Discomfort or pain in the pelvic region.
Diagnosis involves a thorough examination of medical history, imaging tests, and cystoscopy—a procedure using a thin tube to inspect the bladder.
