Abstract

A systematic review relating to bladder cancer epidemiology, risk factors and occupational hazards was conducted. This was to identify the bladder cancer epidemiology and risk factors in muscle invasive disease. The search strategy aimed to identify all references related to bladder cancer AND screening. Search terms used were as follows: (Bladder cancer) AND (Immune checkpoint inhibitors). The following databases were screened from 1989 to June 2020:
