    BCAN and the BCAN Scientific Advisory Board recently developed a comprehensive patient handbook called Bladder Cancer Basics for the Newly Diagnosed.  Since October, 2008, BCAN has distributed more than 20,000 handbooks to survivors, caregivers, urology practices and cancer centers across the United States.  Doctors view this handbook as a valuable resource for newly diagnosed patients who are seeking reliable, understandable information.

    BCAN is happy to provide these complimentary handbooks to healthcare practices and medical facilities where they can be displayed or distributed to patients.  We are also happy to include brochures detailing the resources and support BCAN offers to those affected by bladder cancer.  Please fill out the form below to request BCAN handbooks or brochures for your medical facility.  We recommend requesting as many brochures and handbooks as you expect to use in a six month period.

    Please note that this form is only intended for medical professionals.  Any others who wish to request copies of our handbook may do so by clicking here.
