Cumulative risk of bladder cancer (ICD-10: C67) incidence to age 69 was calculated with data from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. VIII (1). Cumulative risk is defined as the probability that an individual will develop the disease in question during a certain age span, in the absence of other competing causes of death.

The comparisons of the cumulative risk of bladder cancer incidence among 22 registries (and ethnic groups) are shown in Fig. 1. Males showed higher bladder cancer risk compared with females in all 22 registries. In males, Italy, the Netherlands and Denmark showed higher bladder cancer risk than the other countries. In females, Denmark showed the highest bladder cancer risk, but all registries had bladder cancer risk of <1%. Europeans and white people in the USA showed a higher bladder cancer risk than East Asians and black people in the USA in both males and females. This finding suggests that bladder cancer risk is particularly high in white people.

  		Figure 1. Comparisons of cumulative incidence risk of bladder cancer among 22 selected cancer registries. Note: Data were downloaded from IARC CANCERMondial Statistical Information System (http://www-dep.iarc.fr/). Data of number of deaths and population for Vol. VIII were extracted from CI5I-VIII_September_2005.ZIP and tabulated by the authors of this article. The data of Korea–Seoul, Venetian Italy, and the Netherlands were from the ‘original’ version, and the data of the other registries were from the ‘updated’ version. Responsibility for this presentation and interpretation lies with the authors of this article. LA, Los Angeles; SEER, Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results.

 
By comparison of East Asian immigrants in the USA and the native population living in their homeland, there was no remarkable difference in bladder cancer risk of males, while immigrants in the USA had a higher risk than the native population in females.
