Bladder cancer will strike an estimated 84,870 Americans in 2025 — that's over 230 people every day — and will kill more than 17,420 this year. It's one of the top 7 most diagnosed cancers nationally and one of the top 4 among veterans, who face elevated risk from burn pit and chemical exposure. Bladder cancer has a recurrence rate of 50 to 80 percent, requiring lifelong monitoring, and is one of the most expensive cancers to treat per patient. This resolution supports designating May as National Bladder Cancer Awareness Month and calls for greater public awareness, especially since there have been limited significant treatment breakthroughs in the past 30 years.
