BCAN Patient Resources

Sima P. Porten, MD, MPH, Associate Professor in Residence, UCSF talks about the resources BCAN provides to patients with bladder cancer.

Transcript: BCAN has a wide variety of patient resources on their website. There are some really amazing documents that were created in collaboration from physicians and patients. And I think one of the best body of literature that they put out there is the bladder cancer basics for the newly diagnosed. It’s a really, really important informational tool. And I think the great part about it is that it’s accessible to anybody. It’s not hidden behind any institutional wall or anything like that. You can go to their website and access a multitude of information and tip sheets and tools as well as really good ways that patients and doctors can interface in making sure that the journey through this disease is hopefully as smooth as it can be.
