Bladder cancer incidence statistics

Bladder cancer incidence rates (European age-standardised (AS) rates) in England in females are 47% higher in the most deprived quintile compared with the least, and in males are 23% higher in the most deprived quintile compared with the least (2013-2017).[1]

It is estimated that there are around 980 more cases of bladder cancer each year in England than there would be if every deprivation quintile had the same age-specific crude incidence rates as the least deprived quintile. around 370 of these cases are in females, and around 610 in males.
