Unsatisfactory treatment results of malignant neoplasms in general and bladder cancer in particular require a closer study of their epidemiology. The incidence of bladder cancer varies from 1.3 to 6% among all malignant neoplasms of various localizations. According to autopsy findings, they comprise 35-50% of all tumors of urogenital organs and occur mostly in persons older than 40-45 years old. Men are affected 3-4 times more often than women.
