Cancer in uremic patients.
We have studied the notes of 834 uremic patients. Five developed malignant disease whilst uremic, an incidence of 0.6%. Two other patients developed carcinoid tumors. The number of observed cancers in this series is lower than the expected incidence of cancer (p less than 0.05). We conclude that the uremic state does not predispose to malignancy.
