Risk of Bladder Cancer in Patients with Chronic Indwelling Catheters: A Real-World Data Analysis.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Our findings suggest a strong association between CIDC use and increased risk of bladder cancer, especially among younger patients and those with urological complications such as BPH and urinary tract stones. Additionally, comorbidities including chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may contribute to this elevated risk. Therefore, an integrated healthcare strategy, including monitoring of comorbidities and complications, early cancer detection, and regular risk assessment, is critical for physicians to effectively manage bladder cancer risk in this population.
