Abstract: Bladder cancer is

annually in Indonesia. Smoking is the leading risk factor of bladder cancer and
two thirds of men in Indonesia smokes. This study was conducted to describe the
characteristics of bladder cancer based on sex, age and histopathology type
in West Java’s Top Referral Hospital,
Indonesia.
Methods: This study was a descriptive study conducted during theperiod of
September to November 2015 using 372 histopathological medical records of
patients who had primary and secondary bladder cancer at the Pathology
Department, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from January 2010 to
December 2014. Data were collected using total sampling method based on the
characteristics of age, sex histopathology type, and staging of bladder cancer.
Results: Out of the 372 cases, 298 cases were male and 38 cases were
female with a male to female ratio of 7.8:1. The age group with the highest
incidence was the 50–59 years old group. Infiltrating urothelial carcinoma was the
most common histopathology type (71.1%) in primary cancers, 66.1% of cases was
muscle invasive while 33.9% was non muscle invasive. Staging pT1 had the most
number of cases. The most common site of origin for secondary neoplasm was
cervix with adenocarcinoma as the most common histopathology type.
Conclusions: Bladder cancer is more common in male than female and peaks
