Correlation in occurance of different urological tumors at the 20 years distance

Aim of the study was to compare incidence between different types of urological tumors in two 5-years periods at the 20 years distance. We used histopathological data base (tHanatos) from the Department of Pathology "Ljudevit Jurak" during periods 1980/84 (first period) and 2000/04 (second period). In the first period 61152 tissue samples were analyzed, 2919 samples were obtained from urologic patients (4.8%), while in the second period there were 73245 samples analyzed of which 6599 (9.0%) were from Department of Urology. In the first period from all urological patients there were 301 (10.3%) kidney biopsies of which 81(26.9%) was due to kidney tumors while in the second period there was 749 (11.4%) kidney biopsies of which 404 (53.9%) were tumors. In the first period there were 216 (7.4%) testicular biopsies, and in the second 198 (3.0%) of which 39 (18.0%) from the first period was due to malignant neoplasms, while in the second period there were 102 (51.5%) cases of testicular tumors. From total number of Urology biopsies in 1980/84 there were 1072 (36.7%) prostatic biopsies and in 2000/04 there were 3382 (51%). Prostatic adenocarcinomas represented 15.5% (166) of all prostatic biopsies in the first period and 29.1% (983) in the second period. On the basis of this investigation we can conclude that the total number of biopsies increased, as well as the number of urological biopsies. We observed an increase in the frequency of all diagnoses of urogenital malignancies.
