When detected early, the prognosis for bladder cancer patients is very good. Although bladder cancer has a high rate of recurrence, it is a very treatable disease. Talk to your doctor about your risks for bladder cancer and whether the NMP22® BladderChek® Test is right for you. People at elevated risk for bladder cancer include smokers and those in certain high- risk occupations such as military veterans, fire fighters, truck drivers and coal miners and those who work with paints, dyes and petroleum products.
