Lawrenceville & Braselton · Bladder Cancer
What are the early signs of bladder cancer?
By Advanced Urology ·
What's the short answer?
The most common is blood in the urine without pain.
Others include urgency, frequency, or burning without infection.
When should you see a urologist about this?
Get checked if you see blood, especially if you smoke or used to.
What happens inside a Braselton visit?
Braselton visits take place at 2695 Old Winder Hwy, Suite 150, where lab draws, ultrasound and pathology are in the building. Anything needing an operating room is booked a short way south, inside our Crown Pointe Way surgery center.
How does Braselton handle this concern?
For cancer concerns, our Braselton team explains each test, including cystoscopy, MRI and PSMA PET/CT, and talks through surveillance, surgery, radiation and medicines in language that makes sense at the kitchen table.
How do you prepare for Old Winder Highway?
For a Braselton visit, bring prior results, a list of medicines and allergies, and your questions on paper or your phone. Because lab and ultrasound are on site, plan a little extra time in case testing is added.
When should you ring our Braselton office?
Ring (678) 344-8900 when symptoms change or a new result raises questions. Our Braselton clinicians would rather hear from you early than have you wait and wonder.
What else do Braselton patients ask?

What is in the Braselton building?
