Potential years of life lost due to urogenital cancer in the United States: trends from 1972 to 2006 based on data from the SEER database.

Abstract

There has been an increasing trend in potential years of life lost related to urogenital cancer during the last 35 years for males and females.

This trend is mainly due to an increase in kidney cancer.

The continued increase in potential years of life lost due to renal cancer and the lack of a decrease in the loss in those with bladder cancer should alert urologists and health care policy makers to deficient areas that most need to be addressed.
