THE STATE OF UROLOGIC CANCER CARE IN MOSCOW

Abstract

In 2003 malignant neoplasms (MN) of the urinary system and male genital organs affected more than 43,000 people in Russia, amounting to 9.4% in the structure of total cancer morbidity. In 2012, the incidence of urologic cancers at only three sites (prostate, kidney, and bladder) was 12.1%. In the same year, Moscow showed the proportion of patients with new-onset urologic cancer, which accounted for one sixth (16.5%) of the total MN morbidity and almost one fifth (18.5%) of the total number of registered cancer patients.
