Bladder cancer is the most common cause of macroscopic haematuria in the over 40 year age group in Sri Lanka [1]. Delay in initiating treatment may have a profound effect on the survival rate in patients with bladder cancer [2]. In the present study, we investigated the delay between the onset of symptoms and commencement of treatment in patients with macroscopic haematuria in whom it was the presenting symptom, with emphasis on bladder cancer.
