The American Cancer Society estimates that, in 1993, genitourinary (GU) cancers will account for about 37% of all new cases of cancer in men and about 4% in women. Approximately 18% of all cancer deaths in men and 3% in women will be from GU cancers. Identifying the differences in the occurrence of testicular, prostate, bladder, and renal cancer by age, race, sex, and geographic distribution and looking at trends over time are necessary for the development of etiologic hypotheses and appropriate health services.
美国癌症协会估计，1993年泌尿生殖系统（GU）癌症将占男性所有新癌症病例的约37%，女性的约4%。男性所有癌症死亡病例中约18%、女性中约3%将死于泌尿生殖系统癌症。按年龄、种族、性别和地理分布确定睾丸癌、前列腺癌、膀胱癌和肾癌发病情况的差异，并观察长期趋势，对于病因假说的提出和适当医疗服务的提供是必要的。
