ABSTRACT
In Thailand genitourinary tract cancers are not as common as cancers of the liver and lung; but they affect the quality of life, well-being and mortality rate. If detected early, they can be cured by surgery. From the Thai cancer statistics, the incidence of genitourinary cancer ranked the fifth and bladder cancer was the most common. This report is a retrospective study of genitourinary tract cancers in Siriraj Hospital between 1990 to 1995. The total number of patients with genitourinary tract cancer was 638 with an average of 127.6 patients per year and bladder cancer was the most common (284 patients, 44.5%). The second most common was prostate cancer (191 patients, 29.9%), followed by renal cancer 68 patients (10.6%), penile cancer 50 patients (7.8%), and upper urinary tract cancer 45 patients (7%). Most of the patients were over 60.
