Description for Figure 1
According to the period method of survival analysis, during the years 2004 to 2008, females aged 15 to 99 who were diagnosed with bladder cancer were 62% more likely than their males counterparts to die in the first half year after diagnosis. During the next six months, females’ relative excess risk, compared with male’s, was 25%. Thereafter, females’ excess risk declined, and about two years after diagnosis, females and males with bladder cancer were almost equally likely to die, with females’ risk fluctuating narrowly around 1.00 for the next three years.
