Description
Jonathan Aning led a 2026 survey of bladder cancer care paths in the United Kingdom health service. High risk bladder cancer that has not entered muscle needs swift, steady care, yet paths vary. The team asked health staff about team setup, diagnosis speed, drug care, surgery choices, and trial access to find upgrade points.
Seventy staff took part in online interviews from June to September 2025. Most patients reached diagnosis within six to eight weeks, though some faced longer delays. Drug maintenance length and finish rates varied widely. Bladder sparing choices stayed limited after drug failure. All backed shared quality checks and a national audit.
