Bladder cancer mortality statistics

There is evidence for an association between bladder cancer mortality and deprivation for both males and females in England.[1]  England-wide data for 2007-2011 show European age-standardised  mortality rates are 41% higher for males living in the most deprived areas compared with the least deprived, and 64% higher for females.[1]

The estimated deprivation gradient in bladder cancer mortality between people living in the most and least deprived areas in England has not changed in the period 2002-2011.[1] It has been estimated that there would have been around 520 fewer cancer deaths each year in England during 2007-2011 if all people experienced the same mortality rates as the least deprived.[1]

About this data

Data is for: UK, 2007-2011, ICD-10 C67

Deprivation gradient statistics were calculated using mortality data for 2007-2011. The deprivation quintiles were calculated using the Income domain scores from the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) from the following years: 2004, 2007 and 2010. Full details on the data and methodology can be found in the Cancer by Deprivation in England NCIN(link is external) report.
