Urinary bladder cancer is a common worldwide disease whose incidence is shaped by changing risk factor exposure and population aging. At any time, 2.7 million people have a history of UBC, incidence varies globally with highest rates in developed communities, and the burden is projected to rise in less developed areas.
Urinary bladder cancer (UBC) is a common disease worldwide. At any point in time 2.7 million people have a history of UBC. The incidence of UBC varies over the world with highest rates in developed communities. But the burden of UBC will increase in less developed areas of the world. These changes can be attributed to global changes in exposure to risk factors for UBC and growth and aging of the world population.
