Bladder cancer cannot be prevented, but you may be able to reduce some of your risk for getting it. 1  Stop smoking. Cigarette smokers are much more likely to get bladder cancer than nonsmokers. 2  Avoid exposure to industrial chemicals, such as benzene substances and arylamines.
A crude incidence, prevalence, or mortality (death rate) is one that relates to results for a population taken as a whole, without subdivision or refinement. The crude mortality from lung cancer in men in England and Wales during 1985-89 was 1034/million/year compared with 575/million/year during 1950-54.
Lifetime prevalence (LTP) is the proportion of a population that at some point in their life (up to the time of assessment) have experienced the condition. Prevalence estimates are used by epidemiologists, health care providers, government agencies, and insurers.
