“…Despite this, historically, it has been neglected in both health policy agendas and allocation of funding for research . Recently, there has been increasing recognition that BCa is a forgotten cancer, despite it affecting the lives of thousands of patients and having a significant impact on the healthcare system . Researchers are calling for mobilization of resources to improve outcomes for people with BCa (prevention, diagnosis, treatment) and to raise awareness in the community .…”

ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic synthesis of the literature evaluating the use of the Internet and social media by people with bladder cancer (BCa) and their carers, and to synthesize the evidence on the quality of available online resources for patients with BCa.Methods , written in the English language and meeting the inclusion criteria. Data sources included PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science and Scopus. ResultsA total of 15 studies were included in the review. Four studies explored patterns of Internet use among patients with BCa, five studies investigated social media use related to BCa and six studies evaluated the quality of online resources available for patients with BCa. Evidence in all these three dimensions was limited in its ability to establish rigorously if use of the Internet, social media and online resources for BCa is effective in improving the care outcomes for patients with BCa. ConclusionOur review emphasizes the forgotten status of BCa by establishing that, despite its high global incidence, it remains underrepresented in the building of evidence on patient information needs and the possible role of online spaces. Our synthesis establishes that further research is needed to examine the full impact of online information and social media use on the health management of people with BCa.

“…Urgent assessment of haematuria is critical to exclude malignancy 4 . The utilization of haematuria clinics in Australia remains in its infancy 5 . As this trend becomes more established akin to international centres in the UK and Europe, 6–8 it is hoped that the streamlined investigative service will achieve earlier diagnosis of urological malignancy and subsequently decrease morbidity and mortality 9,10 .…”
