[Statistics of genitourinary tumors at Mito Saiseikai Hospital].
The statistics of genitourinary tumors proved by histology as benign or malignant were analyzed for a total of 7,705 patients at the Mito Saiseikai Hospital from 1974 to 1984. The prostate, the bladder, and the kidney were the organs from which the tumors originated most frequently, in that order. Among the benign tumors, benign prostatic hyperplasia (55 cases) was the most frequent. Among the malignant tumors, bladder tumor (22 cases), prostate carcinoma (20 cases), and renal tumor (9 cases) were the most frequent. The overall 5-year survival rate was 50%. The survival of patients with bladder tumor was similar to that of the patients with renal pelvic or ureteral tumors of a transitional-cell origin. The worst survival was observed in penile carcinoma. It can be concluded that the incidence and survival of genitourinary tumors in the Mito area were not significantly different from those reported in other parts in Japan.
