Despite declining global rates, it remains a substantial public health burden. We aimed to analyze the mortality trend of bladder cancer in Montenegro and identify the measures taken to combat this tumor.\r\nMethods: Bladder cancer mortality data in Montenegro from 1990 to 2021 were collected. Mortality rates were age-standardized to the World Standard Population. The joinpoint, linear and Poisson regressions were used to assess bladder cancer mortality trend.\r\nResults: There was a consistent increase in mortality rates due to bladder cancer, with statistical significance for both the overall population and specifically for males, with an average annual percent change (AAPC) of 1.5% (95% CI: 1.5 (0.5-2.9)) and 1.6% (AAPC (95% CI): 1.6 (0.4-3.3)) respectively. Additionally, there was a notable annual increase in the number of bladder cancer cases: average annual increase was 3.4% for the overall population, 3.5% in male and 2.9% in female, with statistical parameters (AAPC (95% CI), P-value) for join point regression: 3.4 (2.4-4.8), &lt;0.001; 3.5 (2.3-5.1), 0.003; and 2.9 (1.2-5.1), 0.004, respectively. The majority of bladder cancer deaths occurred in the age groups of 65-74 (35.8%), 75-84 (33.6%), and 55-64 (16.8%).\r\nConclusion: The ongoing increase in bladder cancer mortality in Montenegro, particularly among men and elderly should encourage policymakers to take action to reverse this unfavorable trend.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18502\/ijph.v54i2.17912","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,23]],"date-time":"2025-02-23T03:16:38Z","timestamp":1740280598000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bladder Cancer Mortality Trend in Montenegro: 1990-2021"],"prefix":"10.18502","author":[{"given":"Mirjana M","family":"Nedovic Vukovic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Zoran S","family":"Terzic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mileta M","family":"Golubovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Milos D","family":"Bojic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Marko M","family":"Vukovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"7770","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,23]]},"container-title":["Iranian Journal of Public Health"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/publish.kne-publishing.com\/index.php\/ijph\/article\/download\/17912\/16664","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/publish.kne-publishing.com\/index.php\/ijph\/article\/download\/17912\/16664","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,26]],"date-time":"2026-02-26T11:48:22Z","timestamp":1772106502000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/publish.kne-publishing.com\/index.php\/ijph\/article\/view\/17912"},"secondary":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ijph.tums.ac.ir\/index.php\/ijph\/article\/view\/34697","label":"UNIVERSITY"}]},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,23]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18502\/ijph.v54i2.17912","relation":{},"ISSN":["2251-6093","2251-6085"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2251-6093","type":"electronic"},{"value":"2251-6085","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,23]]}}}
