Bladder cancer is a common type of cancer that begins in the cells of the bladder. The bladder is a hollow muscular organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Bladder cancer is a condition affecting many veterans across the United States. Veterans can receive disability compensation from the VA if their service-connected bladder cancer is currently active, or if the residuals resulting from it are relatively severe.
