However the common signs and symptoms of bladder cancer are dark urine, frequent urination, or blood in urine.
The average age for bladder cancer is 55 years old and 70 years old.
You can get bladder cancer at any age but bladder cancer is more common in older people or those 55 years old and above.
The average age at which bladder cancer is diagnosed is 73 years old and men have a 1 in 27 chance of developing bladder cancer.
If you eat healthy, avoid holding your pee in and stay hydrated then your chance of getting bladder cancer at any age will decrease.
