Bladder cancer: worse survival in women from deprived areas.
In a case-note review of 120 women and 227 men presenting with muscle-invasive bladder tumours in 1998, survival was worse for women in 3 years of follow-up, with the greatest difference, of 19.9%, at 6 months. For more deprived women, 6-month survival was 52.3%, and 32 (37.2%) presented with advanced disease, compared with 73.5%, and three (8.8%) for less deprived women.
