Topicality. Bladder cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases, accounting for about 30–50% of all urogenital tumors. The incidence rate is increasing, particularly among men. This highlights the need for epidemiological research to improve diagnosis and prevention. The goal of the work is to conduct an epidemiological analysis of bladder cancer incidence among men in different age groups in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Materials and methods. The source of data was the National Cancer Registry of Ukraine. Data for the period 2017–2021 were analyzed. Bibliographic, retrospective, statistical, and descriptive methods were used for data processing. Research results. Over five years, 1,093 new cases of bladder cancer were registered among men in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The highest number of cases was diagnosed in men aged 60 and older (78.3%). The share of new cases among men under 40 was only 2.2%. Conclusions. Bladder cancer remains a significant issue among men, particularly in older age groups. Early diagnosis and prevention are crucial to reducing the incidence and mortality rates.
