According to the National Cancer Institute (INCA), this type of cancer is more common in white, older men, as was the case with Divaldo. It is worth mentioning that smoking triples the risk of bladder cancer. Additionally, you should avoid exposure to petroleum derivatives, such as paints.
The main symptoms are: blood in the urine, pain when urinating and frequent need to urinate, without being able to do so. Patients who develop these symptoms should undergo tests to detect or rule out the presence of cancer.
