Although there has been a decline in the incidence and mortality attributed to bladder cancer over the last two decades the disease is still a relatively common cause of cancer‐related death worldwide. Here the authors argue that, in contrast to national guidelines, patients of any age presenting with visible haematuria or non‐visible haematuria at >40 years of age should be referred to a urologist for further evaluation.
