Females with bladder cancer are more likely than their male counterparts to experience a greater number of symptoms and challenges with coping, less support and, as a result, lower perceptions of quality of life. This is one of many findings from "Bladder Cancer In America 2019," a new survey from Health Union that illuminates the perspectives and experiences of people living with bladder cancer.

Key findings from a joint survey conducted by Health Union and BBK Worldwide - featuring perspectives from pharmaceutical and biotechnology sponsors, physicians, and patients - challenge the long-held notion that physicians are reluctant to refer their patients to other specialists for access to clinical trials.

Health Union will share research findings in a poster presentation at the 2019 Annual Conference of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) in Orlando.
