Abstract
Patients with spina bifida and bladder cancer present at a young age with variable tumor histology and advanced stage, and they have poor survival. Presenting symptoms are often atypical and bladder cancer should be a consideration in this patient population, even in young adults. Due to poor survival further study is warranted in this population to determine whether screening would be beneficial for earlier detection and improved outcomes.
