Abstract
Purpose: Cancer is a disease with high social costs, and policymaking through accurate statistics is very important. This study presents the national cancer statistics on the incidence of urological cancers in the Republic of Korea over 22 years, from 1999 to 2020.
Materials and methods: Through the Korean Statistical Information Service, data on the incidence of urological cancers by sex and age in each year was obtained. For each urological cancer, the number of cases, crude incidence rate (CIR), and age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) were calculated, and the statistical trends were confirmed by joinpoint regression analysis.
Results: Urological cancers, which have increased ASR over 22 years, are as follows: prostate cancer (average annual percent change [AAPC]=6.72%, p-trend<0.05), testicular cancer (AAPC=5.26%, p-trend<0.05), ureter cancer (AAPC=4.16%, p-trend<0.05), kidney cancer (AAPC=4.14%, p-trend<0.05), renal pelvis cancer (AAPC=3.86%, p-trend<0.05), and total urological cancer (AAPC=4.37%, p-trend<0.05). Urological cancers, which has decreased ASR over 22 years, are as follows: penile cancer (AAPC=-2.93%, p-trend<0.05) and bladder cancer (AAPC=-0.31%, p-trend<0.05).
Conclusions: It was confirmed that the ASR of all urological cancers increased for 22 years, except for bladder and penile cancer. With the aging of the population, the CIR increased for all urological cancers. This study will serve as basic data for future research and policy decisions.
期刊介绍:
Investigative and Clinical Urology (Investig Clin Urol, ICUrology) is an international, peer-reviewed, platinum open access journal published bimonthly. ICUrology aims to provide outstanding scientific and clinical research articles, that will advance knowledge and understanding of urological diseases and current therapeutic treatments. ICUrology publishes Original Articles, Rapid Communications, Review Articles, Special Articles, Innovations in Urology, Editorials, and Letters to the Editor, with a focus on the following areas of expertise:
• Precision Medicine in Urology
• Urological Oncology
• Robotics/Laparoscopy
• Endourology/Urolithiasis
• Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction
• Female Urology
• Sexual Dysfunction/Infertility
• Infection/Inflammation
• Reconstruction/Transplantation
• Geriatric Urology
• Pediatric Urology
• Basic/Translational Research
One of the notable features of ICUrology is the application of multimedia platforms facilitating easy-to-access online video clips of newly developed surgical techniques from the journal''s website, by a QR (quick response) code located in the article, or via YouTube. ICUrology provides current and highly relevant knowledge to a broad audience at the cutting edge of urological research and clinical practice.
