The most common first symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine
called hematuria. Hematuria is either visible or microscopic.
o Gross hematuria describes urine that appears red or brown and
can be seen with the naked eye
o Microscopic hematuria means the red blood cells are visible if a
urine sample is examined under a microscope

cancer and include:

o having to urinate more frequently or at shorter intervals.
The symptoms above could also indicate problems (less serious) other
than bladder cancer.
