Abstract:
The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze urinary bladder cancer cases that were diagnosed in Jordan University Hospital, Amman according to age, gender, grade and muscle invasion.There were 212(85.1%) male and 37(14.9%) female patients. Of them, 115(46.2%) patients were aged <65 years (range: 25-64 years), 128(51.4%) were aged 65-84 years, and 6(2.4%) were aged > 85 years. Analysis of transitional cell carcinoma cases revealed that 143(59.3%) of the cases were of low grade, while 98(40.7%) were of high grade. Of these cases, 199(82.6%) were superficial, whereas 42(17.4%) were muscle invasive at initial diagnosis. Of the high-grade tumour cases, 57 (58.2%) and 5(5.1%) were found in the age groups 65-84 and >84 years, respectively. Both the grade and the muscle-invasion status were not significantly associated with patient gender. Our study showed significant demographic changes in urinary bladder cancer in comparison to a previous study from northern Jordan.
