Complete Health Indicator Report of Bladder Cancer
Definition
The rate of incidence of cancer of the bladder in Utah per 100,000 population.Numerator
The number of incidence of bladder cancer among Utah population for a specific time period (ICD-10: C67).Denominator
Population of Utah for a given period of time.Data Interpretation Issues
Incidence rates may vary from source to source. This may be because of having more or less updated information or using different population databases.Why Is This Important?
No one knows the exact causes of bladder cancer. However, there are certain risk factors that are associated with developing bladder cancer. Still, most people with known risk factors do not develop bladder cancer, and many who do develop this disease have none of these factors. Doctors can seldom explain why one person develops this cancer and another does not. Studies have found the following factors increase your risk of developing bladder cancer: old age; being male; White/Caucasian; tobacco use; exposure to certain workplace environments such as rubber, chemical and leather industries, hairdressers, machinists, metal workers, printers, painters, textile workers, truck drivers; and a family history of bladder cancer.How Do We Compare With the U.S.?
Utah has consistently had lower rates of bladder cancer than the U.S. For example, in 2007 (the most recent data available from SEER) the U.S. age-adjusted bladder cancer incidence rate was 20.8 per 100,000 population compared with the Utah age-adjusted rate of 16.90 per 100,000 population.Related Indicators

[[br]] **The count or rate in certain cells of the table has been suppressed either because 1) the observed number of events is very small and not appropriate for publication, or 2) it could be used to calculate the number in a cell that has been suppressed.Data Sources
