Overview
Among transitional cell carcinomas, upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinomas are rare cancers accounting for 5-7% of all transitional cell cancer cases. The incidence of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma was estimated to be 0.6-1.1 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1] Transitional cell carcinoma commonly affects individuals older than 60 years of age with the average age of presentation being 65. Males are more commonly affected with transitional cell carcinoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Transitional cell carcinomas of upper urinary tract are rare cancers accounting for 5-7% of all transitional cell cancer cases.[1]
- Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis, accounts for only 7% of all kidney tumors.[2]
- Transitional cell cancer of the ureter, accounts for only 1 of every 25 upper tract tumors.
Incidence
- The incidence of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma was estimated to be 0.6-1.1 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1]
Age
- Transitional cell carcinoma commonly affects individuals older than 60 years of age with the average age of presentation being 65.
- Transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is rare in young adults, as less than 1% of such tumors present in the first 4 decades of life.[3]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with transitional cell carcinoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.
