Urinary Crystals Or Stones A Risk Factor For Bladder Cancer?
Pet Cancer Summit
This question was asked during Session 1 of the Pet Cancer Summit:
Question: Is there any correlation between bladder cancer and urinary crystals / stones?
Answer (provided by Lauren Trepanier, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, DACVCP):
Yes, chronic bladder inflammation is a risk factor for bladder cancer, although most dogs with bladder stones never get bladder cancer.
