Renal and Urinary Tract Cancer
Renal and urinary tract cancers include cancers of the kidney, bladder, urethra, paraurethral gland and renal pelvis.

Over the last 20 years, the incidence and mortality rates for bladder cancer have declined. The incidence rate of kidney cancer has increased substantially, however the mortality rate remains unchanged.
In 2004, cancers of the kidney and bladder were the ninth and tenth most common cancers in Australia.
In 2005, there were 905 deaths attributed to bladder cancer and 847 deaths attributed to kidney cancer.
