Bladder cancer: a retrospective audit at a single radiation oncology unit of an academic hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa
Bladder cancer is still widespread in LMICs, with lower HDI, with elderly males being at risk. To aggressively prevent mortality and morbidity from bladder cancer, bladder cancer health awareness must be maintained to improving prevention, as well as early detection, management and comprehensive patient care and health services for bladder cancer patients. These findings highlight the importance of targeted screening and prevention strategies for high-risk groups, particularly older males with a history of smoking.
