Longitudinal Analysis of Bladder Cancer-Specific Mortality Trends in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bladder cancer is the tenth leading cause of cancer death in the United States (US). Advances in diagnosis, imaging, and treatments have led to improvements in bladder cancer management.

Objective

To evaluate longitudinal bladder cancer mortality trends from 1999-2020 in the US by gender, race, ethnicity, age, geographic region, and urbanization category.

Methods

Age-adjusted bladder cancer death and incidence rates of individuals in the US of all ages between 1999-2020 were obtained using the CDC WONDER and NAACCR databases. Trends and average annual percent changes (AAPC) in age-adjusted Bladder Cancer-Specific Mortality (BCSM) and incidence rates were estimated. Data were analyzed from May 2023 to October 2023.

Results

From 1999-2020, overall BCSM
