Cover Story: Bladder cancer (BCa) is the most common cancer of the urinary system and one of the most frequently discovered cancers worldwide. It occurs in both women and men, being the fourth most common cancer in men. Incidence and mortality rates vary geographically, primarily due to differences in exposure to risk factors, especially smoking. Data from the National Cancer Registry indicate an increase in cases in Poland, where 7043 cases were diagnosed in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic limited access to diagnostics, resulting in a decrease in detection in 2020 and an increase in 2021 due to delayed diagnoses. The mortality rate in 2021 was 54.9%, highlighting the importance of monitoring, prevention, and effective treatment of this disease. View this paper
