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.
Prevalence is a way of measuring the number of people affected per 100,000 people in a given population. The prevalence figures for sarcoidosis are very unusual. In the United States, prevalence figures range from five (5/100,000 in the United States) for whites to 40 for blacks.
