Clinical Outcomes and Prognosis Analysis of Younger Bladder Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Generally, little is known about prognostic factors in bladder cancer patients under 40 years of age. We therefore performed a retrospective study to identify prognostic factors in these younger bladder cancer patients.

Methods

We collected clinicopathological data on bladder cancer patients ≤40 years old diagnosed between 1975 and 2018 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences between groups were analyzed using the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox hazards regression analyses were performed to define hazard ratios (HRs) for cancer-specific survival (CSS).

Results

There were statistical differences in race, histological type, cancer sta
