Trends in Incidence and Mortality of Kidney Cancer in a Northern Italian Province: An Update to 2020.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to examine the incidence and mortality trends for tumors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a province of northern Italy. The study included kidney cancers recorded in the period 1996-2020, divided by sex, age, year of incidence and years from diagnosis. The standardized incidence rate was calculated using the European population, and the Annual Percent Change (APC) was reported. In total, 2331 patients with kidney cancers were identified, mainly males (1504 cases) aged 60-79 years (1240 cases). There were 1257 deaths; there were no differences according sex but there were differences according to age (12.1% among younger adults and 80.4% among 80+).
