</script>Secondary neoplasms of the bladder account for 4.5% of all bladder neoplasms however there is limited literature reporting management and survival. This is the largest single centre series presented in current literature with long term oncological follow up.This is a single institutional, retrospective cohort study of patients with a histological diagnosis of a secondary bladder neoplasm from January 2007 to December 2017 (n=40). Prognostic variables examined included age at diagnosis, histology, disease free survival and treatment. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate survival. We used multiple regression analysis to identify the most significant treatments for each population group in terms of their survival.Twenty-one patients were male (53%) with a median age of 68 and 19 were female (47%) with a median age of 64. The most common secondary neoplasms and their median survival were prostate [12 patients (30%), 446 days], colorectal [9 patients (23%), 403 days], ovarian [5 patients (13%), 369 days], cervical [4 patients (10%), 148 days], breast [3 patients (8%), 241 days], lymphoma [3 patients (8%), 145 days], gastric [2 patients (5%), 66 days], and renal [2 patients (5%), 854 days]. Those receiving treatment following a secondary diagnosis demonstrated statistical significance in survival for colorectal (surgery P=0.013), prostate (radiotherapy P=0.0012 and hormonal therapy P=0.004) and ovarian cancer (chemotherapy P=0.00002).Prognosis and treatment depends upon the primary neoplasm. There is some survival benefit in well selected patients receiving treatment following a diagnosis of a bladder secondary.
