Incidence, prognostic factors and survival in bladder cancer patients: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, epidemiologic characteristics, prognostic factors and survival of patients with bladder cancer.

Methods

Bladder cancer patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2015 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to identify the independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and nomogram analysis were constructed based on the identified independent prognostic factors.

Results

A total of 95,329 eligible bladder cancer patients were included in this study. Eight independent risk factors, including age, histologic type, race, tumor, node and metastasis (T
