Article Synopsis
- Men in the U.S. have higher diagnosis and mortality rates for nonsex specific cancers compared to women, with a male-to-female relative mortality rate of 1.060 over the last decade.
- The study analyzed 10 years' worth of data from the SEER program, focusing on new cancer cases and stage distributions while excluding sex-specific cancers.
- Results indicate that men are more often diagnosed at advanced stages for 7 out of the 10 most common nonsex specific cancers, highlighting a persistent discrepancy in cancer outcomes between sexes.
While patient age and gender are important factors in the clinical decision-making for treating urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB), there are no evidence-based recommendations to guide healthcare professionals. We review previous reports on the influence of age and gender on the incidence, biology, mortality and treatment of UCB. Using MEDLINE, we searched for previous reports published between January 1966 and July 2009.
