Astellas Pharma has initiated a global campaign to address the critical issue of delayed bladder cancer diagnoses. In collaboration with the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition (WBCPC) and behavioral scientists, the company aims to understand the barriers preventing individuals from seeking timely medical attention for bladder cancer symptoms.
