The gender difference and mortality-to-incidence ratio relate to health care disparities in bladder cancer: National estimates from 33 countries

The gender difference and mortality-to-incidence ratio relate to health care disparities in bladder cancer: National estimates from 33 countries

Abstract The variation in the mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) between countries and genders reflects the complex etiology and intervention of bladder cancer. In this study, we investigated the MIR variation between genders and health care disparities among countries. Cancer incidence and mortalit...
