ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Taiwan has one of the highest incidences of upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) worldwide, especially in women; however, no nationwide, long-term follow-up study has evaluated this.METHODS:
We investigated the incidence of UTUC in Taiwan using data from the national population-based Taiwan Cancer Registry database (1985-2019). We divided the birth cohort into nine 5-year age groups and calculated the age-specific incidence for these groups according to the corresponding birth years.RESULTS:
The average annual percent change in the incidence of renal pelvis cancer from 1985 to 2019 showed sex-specific differences, with 3.5% and 5.3% increases in the incidences in men and women, respectively. The age-specific incidence rate for renal pelvis cancer among women showed a gradual increase in the group with older women as well as an increase over time in each age group. The results of a birth cohort analysis revealed that younger cohorts had higher incidence rates of renal pelvis cancer than older cohorts did.CONCLUSION:
We demonstrated that the incidence of UTUC is unusually high among older Taiwanese women and that younger cohorts have a high risk of UTUC than older cohorts.Palabras clave
