Abstract
The epidemiological characteristics of many occupational lesions of the urinary tract organs remain poorly understood and unspecified, since they are described only as sporadic individual or group cases.
 Diseases arising from exposure to industrial carcinogens remain an urgent problem in occupational health. Unfortunately, today there is a low detection rate of occupational malignancies of any localization. Occupational oncological diseases with damage to the kidneys and urinary tract develop as a result of direct contact with a production factor with a carcinogenic effect.
 The analysis of the conducted studies devoted to the problem of occupational oncological lesions of the kidneys and urinary tract, the frequency of which remains underestimated due to their latent clinical course and the influence of environmental factors, which requires further study of this issue.
 For timely diagnosis of malignant neoplasms of the urinary system organs after reaching the length of service of five years, it is recommended to conduct an ultrasound examination of the kidneys and urinary tract and cystoscopy once every five years at the center of occupational pathology for persons working in contact with carcinogens.
