Global Disparities and Temporal Trends in Prostate, Bladder, and Kidney Cancer Burden Among Men: A Systematic Analysis of 204 Countries (1990-2021).

ABSTRACT: IntroductionUrological cancers-primarily prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers-pose a growing global public health challenge, particularly affecting men. While high-income countries have achieved early detection and better treatment outcomes, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) continue to face late diagnoses and healthcare resource limitations.MethodsThis study leveraged Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) data to assess trends in age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs), age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for the three major urological cancers among men across 204 countries from 1990 to 2021. The ASIRs, ASMRs, and DALYs experienced the same age standardization. Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) was used to evaluate
