Impact of Age, TNM Stage, and Hospitalization on Bladder Cancer Survival: Evidence from a Hospital-Based Cohort in Eastern China

Advanced age and late-stage diagnosis were associated with poorer survival, while early-stage detection correlated with better outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of early screening, timely treatment, and comprehensive care strategies to improve bladder cancer survival, especially in resource-limited settings. Limitations include single-center design and absence of multivariate adjustment.
