Temporal trends and demographic-geographic disparities in kidney Cancer mortality in the United States, 1999-2023.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze temporal trends and disparities in kidney cancer mortality in the United States (1999-2023) by demographics, geography, and urbanization, using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) WONDER database. Methods: Death data were extracted from the CDC Wonder database covering the United States during the period 1999-2023 and analyzed via Joinpoint regression and spatial analysis. Results: In 1999-2023, kidney cancer deaths increased by 33.38 % (from 10,862 to 14,488), while the age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) declined significantly (average annual percentage change (AAPC) = -0.76 %) in the United States. By age, 35-44 and 45-54-year-olds had the sharpest AAMR drops (annual percentage change (APC) = -1.81 and - 1.92, respecti
