title: [The incidence, localization, sex and mean age in patients with renal carcinoma].
abstract: Retrospective analysis was made of the clinical case records of 97 nephrectomized patients with renal cancer at the University Urologic Clinic in Rostock, Germany. The Student-Fisher t-criterion was used for statistical processing of the results. The stage of the disease was determined in accordance with the histologic classification of pTNM, suggested in 1988 by the European Organization for Cancer Research and Treatment. Patients with malignant diseases of the urogenital tract accounted for 6.1 per cent of all patients treated at the Urologic Clinic. Malignant disease of the kidney alone comprised 1.7 per cent and of renal cancer--1.5 per cent. In 49 per cent of the patients renal cancer was localized in the left kidney, in 42 per cent--the right kidney, and 9 per cent both kidneys were involved. The male: female ratio was 2.2:1. Mean patient age was 57 years (males 58.1, females 55.9 years).
