Urinary bladder cancer (UBC) is a common disease worldwide. At any point in time 2.7 million people have a history of UBC. The incidence of UBC varies over the world with highest rates in developed communities. But the burden of UBC will increase in less developed areas of the world. These changes can be attributed to global changes in exposure to risk factors for UBC and growth and aging of the world population.
膀胱癌（UBC）是一种全球范围内的常见疾病。在任何时间点，都有270万人有膀胱癌病史。膀胱癌的发病率在全球各地有所不同，在发达地区发病率最高。但在世界较不发达地区，膀胱癌的负担将会增加。这些变化可归因于全球范围内膀胱癌风险因素暴露情况的变化以及世界人口的增长和老龄化。
