Abstract:
Despite advances in prophylaxis, early diagnosis, and treatment, urogenital cancers represent a significant challenge to public health in Poland due to their relatively high prevalence and mortality rates. This narrative review aims to explore contemporary evidence on the epidemiology of urogenital cancers in Poland, such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and penile cancer, focusing on current and historical status and trends in the broader context of healthcare delivery. The literature consistently indicates that urogenital cancer continues to be a significant contributor to cancer incidence and mortality rates in Poland. Although the body of evidence is expanding, its quantity remains limited, primarily attributable to the scarcity of top-notch epidemiological investigations targeting particular forms of cancer, such as testicular and penile cancers, which are characterized by sporadic occurrences.
