RE:Just tried calling Roger to ask a couple questionsScripting a news release that they have been fast tracked and Health Canada wants to get the show on the road.
The American Cancer Society’s estimates for bladder cancer in the United States for 2017 are:
- About 79,030 new cases of bladder cancer (about 60,490 in men and 18,540 in women)
- About 16,870 deaths from bladder cancer (about 12,240 in men and 4,630 in women)
The rates of new bladder cancers and of cancer deaths and have been dropping slightly in women in recent years. In men, incidence rates have been decreasing and death rates have been stable.
Bladder cancer accounts for about 5% of all new cancers in the US. It is the fourth most common cancer in men, but it is less common in women.
