The African continent is unique in terms of its epidemiological evidence, causes, and possible future trends for bladder cancer (BCa). Factors include smoking rates and parasitic infection with Schistosoma haematobium. These issues in Africa could be addressed by increasing cultural awareness of BCa causes and symptoms via social media, banning smoking in public places, and ensuring that praziquantel is readily available in areas at high risk of schistosomiasis.
非洲大陆在膀胱癌（BCa）的流行病学证据、病因和未来可能的趋势方面具有独特性。这些因素包括吸烟率和寄生虫感染血吸虫。可以通过社交媒体提高对膀胱癌病因和症状的文化认识、在公共场所禁烟以及确保在高血吸虫病风险地区容易获得吡喹酮来解决这些在非洲的问题。
