BACKGROUND: Purpose of this study was to see the incidence, age, sex, geographical distribution, symptoms, personal habits, signs, histo-pathology, early diagnosis and management of cases of @entity5 Urinary Bladder (Ca UB) in the @entity1 coming to CENAR, Quetta, Pakistan. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at CENAR for a period of 5 years from 1st Jan. 1993 to 31st Dec. 97, in which about 100 cases of @entity150 were included, out of which 82 @entity1 were male and 12 were females. RESULTS: During our 5-year period of study, 3571 new cases of @entity5 were registered at CENAR, out of which 100 (2.8% of total No. of cases) were of Ca UB. Hence 20 new cases of Ca UB per year were registered at CENAR. The maximum number of cases was registered in 1996. CONCLUSION: Our study concluded that Ca UB occurs more in male with a male female ratio of 4.5:1 and a high incidence after 40 years of age. No @entity1 below 20 was reported. @entity1606 was dominating (75%). Other histological types seen were @entity957 (4%), @entity420 (3%), UD (5%) and HPNA (10%). A considerable number of @entity1 were using different preparations of @entity286 (cigarette smoking (6%), Hubble-Bubble (5%) and Niswar (Snuff) (12%). The @entity1 were mainly treated with Radiotherapy, because at the time of reporting they were already in stage II or beyond (97%). Some @entity1 were also treated by surgery such as TUR, partial or radical cystectomy. A few @entity1 (6%) also received chemotherapy.
