Introduction
The law provides for payment of benefits to people who are suffering from certain diseases
contracted in the course of certain types of employment. These diseases are referred to as
prescribed diseases (PDs) and are listed in Regulations. A disease or injury is prescribed when
the Secretary of State is satisfied that it is a risk arising from a person’s occupation and not a
risk common to everybody.
Bladder cancer is recognized as such a disease.
If you are told that you are not entitled to benefit for a certain disease, it does not mean you
do not have the disease for which you claimed. What you are being told is that you do not
meet the criteria laid down for receiving benefit for that disease. These criteria are laid down
so that it can be presumed that your job caused the prescribed disease in question.

Incidence of bladder cancer (ICD10 C67)
Indirectly standardised registration ratios (SRR)
All ages

Data are based on ONS population estimates (October 2004 revision).
Results may differ from those of previous Compendium issues because of changes in methodology to extract data by area,
and also because of data enhancements by ONS.
Highlights

the period 1999-2001
The incidence ratio of male bladder cancer was also significantly lower than England in Luton UA and Dacorum CD during
this time period, while the male incidence ratio for East Hertfordshire CD was significantly higher than for England ...

Urinary Bladder Cancer
Cancer of the urinary bladder is the fifth most common cancer in the United States. Each year,
approximately 38,000 men and 15,000 women are diagnosed with bladder cancer . This is the
fourth most common type of cancer in men and the eighth most common in women. Like almost
any malignancy, bladder cancer is a multifactorial disease with both an environmental and
genetic component. The most important known risk factor for bladder cancer is cigarette
smoking; cigarette smokers develop bladder cancer two to three times more often than
nonsmokers (Silverman et al., in press). Risk increases with amount smoked (number of packs
per day), with moderate to heavy smokers experiencing two to five times the risk of nonsmokers.
Quitting smoking is associated with a 30% to 60% decrease in risk. Smoking is estimated to be
responsible for about 48% of the bladder ...
