Female patients subsequently found to have bladder cancer often experience diagnostic delays compared to male patients

Ian article by Henning et al published in BJUI (2013) the authors studied the presenting symptoms of patients (such as blood in the urine) subsequently diagnosed with bladder cancer. In this study there were no gender‐related differences in presenting clinical symptoms, but women were more likely to be treated for voiding complaints or alleged urinary tract infections without further evaluation or referral to urology than men. They concluded that gender‐dependent disparities in referral patterns exist and might delay definitive diagnosis of bladder cancer in women.
