Incidence and survival variations of upper tract urothelial cancer in Taiwan (2001-2010).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess temporal patterns and regional differences in the incidence rate, and factors associated with survival of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.

Methods

The medical records of 8830 patients with new diagnoses of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma in the years 2001-2010 were retrieved from Taiwan National databases. Temporal trends, regional disparity and related survival factors were evaluated using the Cochran-Armitage trend test, local Moran's I statistic and log-rank test, respectively.

Results

The annual urinary tract urothelial carcinoma incidence rates (standardized by age) were steady at approximately 3.14-3.41 per 100 000 person-years. Notably, women had a significantly higher annual urinary tract urothelial carcinoma incidence than men in mo
