Abstract

Background and Aim: Bladder cancer is the tenth most common cancer in the world and the fourteenth cause of death in the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with bladder cancer. Methods: Patients diagnosed with bladder tumor from 2014 to 2021 were selected. Clinical characteristics including size, location, morphology, stage and grade of tumor and demographic information including age, sex and smoking were extracted from patients' files. The survival rate of the patient until the study time or until death was recorded. Results: The results showed that the average age of the patients was 61 years and the male to female ratio was 4.4. The prevalence of smoking (45%) and opium (36.4%) was observed. The most common location of the tumor was the right side of the bladder (43.6%) and the left side (37.7%), and the most common histopathology observed was transitional cell carcinoma (84.4%). The follow-up results of the patients showed that 18% died due to the disease and 4.9% died due to another cause. 23.6% continued to live despite the disease and 36% showed no signs of disease during the follow-up period. Conclusion: The results showed that regular follow-up of patients and accurate recording of their information, as well as improving uropathology skills can help increase insight into bladder cancer in the future.
