Abstract
Bladder cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the eighth most common in women in the United States. While clinicians who diagnose and treat the disease recognize that bladder cancer has a unique demographic profile, the influence of such factors as age, gender and race on incidence, prognosis, and survival of patients is poorly understood, and has not been the subject of intense investigation. Both through analysis of the population-based databases of bladder cancer in the United States and Europe, as well as epidemiological studies, some of the effects of gender, race and age on this disease have begun to be explained. In this manuscript we review the current literature and epidemiological studies on the affects of gender, race and age on incidence and mortality of bladder cancer.
