Urologic malignancies (UM) are rising in Nigeria, with prostate and renal cancers being most common. This study analyzed UM patterns in a Nigerian tertiary hospital over ten years.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Urology
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Nigeria has seen a rise in malignant diseases.
- The trend of Urologic Malignancies (UM) in Nigeria is not well-documented.
- This study addresses the pattern of UM in a Nigerian tertiary hospital.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the pattern and prevalence of histologically diagnosed Urologic Malignancies (UM).
- To investigate the trend of UM in Nigeria over a decade.
Main Methods:
- A 10-year retrospective review (2005-2014) of UM patients.
- Data collected from case files and the Ife-Ijesha Cancer registry.
- Analysis included demographics, site of origin, and histology using SPSS v20.
Main Results:
- Urologic malignancies (UM) constituted 8.9% (420/4675) of all malignancies.
- Prostate cancer was the most prevalent UM (75%), followed by renal tumors (14.8%).
- UM were more common in males (88.8%) than females (11.2%).
Conclusions:
- There is a rising prevalence of Urologic Malignancies (UM) in Ile-Ife.
- Prostate and renal cancers are the most significant contributors to this rise.
