Trends in genitourinary cancer mortality in the United States: analysis of the CDC-WONDER database 1999-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sociodemographic disparities in genitourinary cancer-related mortality have been insufficiently studied, particularly across multiple cancer types. This study aimed to investigate gender, racial, and geographic disparities in mortality rates for the most common genitourinary cancers in the United States.

Methods

Mortality data for prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) WONDER database between 1999 and 2020. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were analyzed by year, gender, race, urban-rural status, and geographic region using a significance level of p < 0.05.

Results

Overall, AAMRs for prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer declined significantly, while testicular can
