Bladder cancer is responsible for approximately 3% of all malignancies
diagnosed in New Zealand each year. Bladder cancer is more common in men
than women and typically affects people over 60 years of age. The main
risk factor for this disease is cigarette smoking.
Nearly all are transitional cell cancers (arising from the inner lining cells of the bladder). Rarer bladder tumours include adenocarcinoma (usually arising from the urachus) and squamous cancer (associated with chronic inflammation and schistosomiasis).
