Overview

Among transitional cell carcinomas, upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinomas are rare cancers accounting for 5-7% of all transitional cell cancer cases. The incidence of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma was estimated to be 0.6-1.1 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1]

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Transitional cell carcinomas of upper urinary tract are rare cancers accounting for 5-7% of all transitional cell cancer cases.[1]
  • Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis, accounts for only 7% of all kidney tumors.[2]
  • Transitional cell cancer of the ureter, accounts for only 1 of every 25 upper tract tumors.

Incidence

  • The incidence of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma was estimated to be 0.6-1.1 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1]

Age

  • Transitional cell carcinoma commonly affects individuals older than 60 years of age with the average age of presentation being 65.
  • Transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is rare in young adults, as less than 1% of such tumors present in the first 4 decades of life.[3]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected with transitional cell carcinoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.
