[Incidence and mortality of urological cancers in 2012 in France].
OBJECTIVE
Present national estimations of the incidence and mortality trends in urological cancers in France between 1980 and 2012.


METHODS
Francim database and French Register of Cancers.


RESULTS
Analysis of the current data shows a regular increase of the incidence of renal cancer in men and women (7,781 cases in men and 3,792 in women in 2012). For bladder cancer, trends are divergent. There is a small reduction in incidence for men and an increase for women (9,549 cases in men and 2,416 in women in 2012). Testicular cancer is still increasing slightly (2,317 incidental cases in 2012). The incidence of prostate cancer experienced a huge increase up until 2005, and thereafter it decreased sharply, though it is difficult to discern whether this drop (which was observed up until 2008) continued at the same rate after that point (56,841 incidences in 2012 based on the rates calculated for 2009).


CONCLUSIONS
The analyses by organ database show that there are significant variations in the incidence of urological cancers, particularly for prostate cancer, which shows that both the natural history of urological tumours and the methods of detection have an impact on incidence.
