Incarcerated Patients Present With More Advanced Bladder Cancer Stage: A Statewide Analysis
Incarceration at the time of diagnosis was independently associated with higher odds of presenting with advanced-stage bladder cancer. These findings highlight incarceration status as a marker of clinical vulnerability, not fully explained by known risk factors such as smoking or race. Addressing this disparity will require both preventive strategies targeting modifiable risk factors and structural interventions to ensure timely access to cancer diagnosis and care within correctional settings.
