I have been unsuccessfully trying to find the $ costs of bladder cancer per person in Australia. Or just the yearly costs. This information is available for the US but I cannot find Australian information. Is this due to the differences in coding for various procedures?
Hi Susan,
A good question. I've not considered it before - but it would be great to know,
I hope that someone has the answer!!
Hello Susan,
I have not found any information either on sites relating to Australia.
However, this paper is authored by a ResearchGate members who perhaps could be of assistance:
Arianayagam, R., Arianayagam, M., & Rashid, P. (2011). Bladder cancer: Current management. Australian family physician, 40(4), 209.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51151346_Bladder_cancer_Current_management
I also found find this link - Australia Urology Associates - that could maybe be of help:
http://www.aua.com.au/content_common/pg-contact-us.seo
This is the website for an Australian urological surgeon who treats bladder cancer; whether his team could point you in the right direction to find the answer to your question:

I hope you find the information that you need.
Very best wishes for your PhD,

Hi Mary,
I do have Arianaayagen, it is a good article. I have tried to find information on various websites including government sites without much luck really. Thank you for your suggestions I will try the websites you have recommended.
