Abstract [en]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to give a collective overview on all available data sources on bladder cancer patients in the Nordic countries including the amount of detail and coverage.
METHODS: National representatives from five Nordic countries were asked to fill out a questionnaire on available information regarding bladder cancer patients from databases in their respective countries. Additional information was retrieved from descriptions of the relevant registries.
RESULTS: : Information on overall survival was available in all countries whereas recurrence-free survival and cancer-specific survival were available for some but not all patients depending on treatment modality.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite limitations, we found that it was possible to retrieve detailed information on diagnostics, treatment, and outcome for most aspects of bladder cancer in the Nordic countries on a population based, non-selected patient cohort.
