[Statistics of oncourologic diseases in Russia in 1996].
The trends in male urinary and genital cancer morbidity and mortality are specified. Statistics on separate malignant urological diseases are provided. In 1996 the number of patients with cancer of male urinary and sex organs reached 31.700. A growth in morbidity was due rather to a higher risk to develop the disease than because of changes in the population age. Urological cancer reduces mean life span of Russian population by 2 months, and the patients' life terminates 10-19 years earlier. Financial losses due to deaths of urological cancer stand as high as 197 million roubles as estimated in 1990 prices.
