Previous work has shown that the hospitals are the most important source of delay in treatment of bladder cancer rather than the patient or the general practitioner. We have studied referral of patients for investigation and treatment in the North West Region using data from the cancer registry. Delay in treatment for this disease is appreciably longer than for the other common cancers we have studied. Various factors associated with speed of treatment are discussed.
先前的研究表明，医院是膀胱癌治疗延误的最重要原因，而非患者或全科医生。我们利用癌症登记处的数据，对西北地区患者的转诊检查和治疗情况进行了研究。这种疾病的治疗延误明显长于我们研究过的其他常见癌症。文中还讨论了与治疗速度相关的各种因素。
