BLADDER CANCER

Bladder cancer is the 6th most common cancer in the US, yet significant disparities in access to guideline-concordant care persist—particularly among Black patients, women, older adults, uninsured individuals, and those in rural communities. For many patients with bladder cancer, access to personalized, high-quality care remains limited due to systemic inequities that impact timely diagnosis, treatment access, and use of supportive services. Overcoming these disparities requires data-driven strategies and a reimagining of care delivery grounded in equity.

ACCC provides resources to support cancer care professionals in identifying and addressing barriers to guideline-concordant care, helping ensure all patients receive equitable, evidence-based treatment.

Interactive eCourse

Implementing Shared Decision-Making in Bladder Cancer Care

ACCC’s Implementing Shared Decision-Making in Bladder Cancer Care e-Course supports quality person-centered care by educating the multidisciplinary bladder cancer care team on health literacy and health equity best practices and shared decision-making conversations. Through this brief online course, oncology professionals can better address the existing barriers to quality bladder cancer care for underserved populations and improve care coordination for improved health outcomes.

Cancer programs and academic centers can implement quality improvement steps to optimize the delivery of guideline-based treatment for vulnerable patients with bladder cancer and, in doing so, prevent disparities in treatment delivery and outcomes.
