Objective To describe the prevalence and characteristics of bladder carcinoma of Shenzhen residents in recent 10 years and make a relative comparison of corresponding data so as to provide basis for the prophylaxis and treatment of Shenzhen. Methods We collected the data of bladder cancer from 2003 to 2012 in Shenzhen and made a statistical analysis of gender, age, crude incidence rate,standardized incidence and other indexes in China of permanent population and registered population in Shenzhen, then we compared the incidence the trends of the two groups. Results Bladder cancer incidence in Shenzhen for the past decade was as follows. For the permanent residents, the incidence in male and female and total incidence of the disease were 2. 37/105 , 0. 75/105 and 1. 63/105 respectively; for the population of male, the incidence in male and female and total incidence of the disease were 4. 77/105 , 1. 19/105 , 3. 09/105 respectively;standardized incidence in China were 17. 1/105 , 4. 53/105 , 11. 21/105 respectively; all of which were higher than the national average level.
