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.
It is thus a proportion, rather than a rate, although you may sometimes see it called a rate.. Prevalence provides a good way to indicate the burden of disease in a population. It is influenced by the incidence and by the duration of the condition: under most circumstances, prevalence = incidence Ã disease duration. MORTALITY RATE. The number of deaths per thousand population per year: in effect, the incidence of death in a population.
