Hi, There are some chemicals responsible for bladder cancer, specially chemicals used in dye. Anyway at present the treatment of the disease is of main concern. Your pituitary tumor has been treated successfully. Bladder cancer should also be treated in a curative intent. Your doctor definitely have offered you the best treatment. The staging of the disease should be mentioned. Close follow up is of utmost importance. Urine cytology and abdominal imaging should be done at regular interval. Consult your doctors.
