Actos Bladder Cancer
Recent studies indicate that Actos users may have an increased risk of bladder cancer the longer the medication is taken. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed alleging that the Actos manufacturer--Takeda Pharmaceuticals--did not adequately test for these risks or warn of these risks.
Because the Actos manufacturer failed to adequately warn of these risks, or design a safe product, you may be entitled to compensation if you have been diagnosed with a cancerous bladder tumor or bladder cancer.
To have a potential bladder cancer lawsuit reviewed by one of our Actos lawyers, request a free consultation and claim evaluation. Your case will be handled as on a contingency fee basis, which means there is no out-of-pocket expense to you. Any attorney’s fees and expenses come out of your recovery, not your checkbook.

Bladder cancer is a disease in which cancer cells--"malignant cells" form in the tissues of the bladder. Cancer cells can destroy organs, spread to other organs, and cause great harm or even death.
There are three major types of bladder cancer, based on the type of cell causing the cancer:
- Transitional cell carcinoma: Cancer initially involving cells in the innermost tissue layer of the bladder. Most bladder cancers begin in the transitional cells. These cells are able to stretch when the bladder is full and shrink when it is emptied.
- Squamous cell carcinoma: Cancer initially involving squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that may form in the bladder after long-term infection or irritation.
- Adenocarcinoma: Cancer initially involving glandular (secretory) cells that may form in the bladder after long-term irritation and inflammation.
