Kidney cancer epidemiology
 in Kazakhstan, 2010-2019

Abstract

Relevance: Kidney cancer is among the most
 common oncourological malignancies, which incidence is currently growing. Risk factors for kidney
 cancer include tobacco smoking, overweight, and a
 history of hypertension and chronic kidney diseases. Kidney cancer is twice more often in men than in
 women.
 The purpose was to study the epidemiological
 trends in Kazakhstan in 2010-2019 years.
 Results: In the study period, the kidney cancer
 incidence increased from 5.64 to 6.74, and mortality
 decreased from 2.65 to 1.96 per 100 000 population.
 Both unadjusted and standardized incidence was
 high at the age of 50-69 years in both sexes. The incidence decreased in the age group below 29, was
 stable at the age of 30-49, was unstable at the age of
 50-69, and was growing at 70 years and above. Unadjusted mortality was high at the age of 70 and above.
 Standardized mortality was high at the age of 50-69.
 Conclusion: In Kazakhstan, in 2010-2019, there
 was an increase in kidney cancer incidence against
 the background of a decrease in mortality from this
 disease. The most unfavorable in terms of incidence
 was the age group of 50-69 years in both sexes. The
 highest absolute mortality was registered at the age
 of 70 and above, while standardized mortality rates
 were the highest at 50-69.
