Abstract

Carcinoma of the bladder is a common malignancy of the genitourinary tract. In the United States in 1996, this cancer is expected to be the second genitourinary tumor in incidence and the third in mortality (Tables 2.1, 2.2) (Parker et al. 1996). The incidence of bladder cancer has been relatively stable in the United States, with only about a 7% increase since 1990 (Silverberg et al. 1990). In the past 30 years, however, a sharp increase has been observed in the incidence of survival for this disease. In the U.S. Caucasian population, the 5-year survival rate in the early 1960s was 53%, while it was 82% in 1991 (Parker et al. 1996). Much lower survival rates were recorded in patients with muscle invasive disease. Similar incidence and mortality statistics for bladder cancer have been seen in the European Community. In the United Kingdom, however, there was a 31% increase in the overall incidence of bladder cancer between 1971 and 1984 and a 22% increase in mortality (Office of Population Consensus and Studies 1987).
