title: Incidence trends of urinary bladder and kidney cancers in urban Shanghai, 1973-2005.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We examined the incidence trends of bladder and kidney cancers using a population-based cancer registration data.
  
  
  METHODS
  Age-standardized incidence rates were analyzed using data from the Shanghai Cancer Registry during 1973 to 2005. Annual percentage changes and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the incidence changes. Age-period-cohort analysis was further implemented to assess the contributions of age, period and cohort effects to the trends using the intrinsic estimator method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In total, 12,676 bladder and 5,811 kidney cancer patients were registered in urban Shanghai. The age-standardized rates of bladder cancer in males increased from 6.39 to 7.66 per 100,000, or 0.62% per year, whereas the rates in females increased from 1.95 to 2.09 per 100,000, or 0.33% per year. For kidney cancer, the age-standardized rates in males increased from 1.20 to 5.64 per 100,000, or 6.98% per year. Similarly in females, the rates increased from 0.85 to 3.33 per 100,000, or 5.93% per year. Age-period-cohort analysis showed increasing curves of age and period effects but generally decreasing cohort effects for bladder and kidney cancers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results show increasing incidence trends of bladder and kidney cancers in Chinese men and women, especially for kidney cancer.
