Life Expectancy and Incidence of Malignant Disease: IV. Carcinoma of the Genito-Urinary Tract

Abstract

In previous communications the life expectancy of patients with cancer of the breast (1), oral cavity (2), and gastro-intestinal tract (3) has been discussed. In the present paper the life expectancy of patients with carcinoma of the genito-urinary tract will be considered. The discussion will include cancer of the vulva, vagina, cervix and fundus uteri, ovary, penis, testicle, prostate, bladder, and kidney. All cases of cancer of these organs admitted to the Collis P. Huntington Memorial and Pondville Hospitals in the years 1912–1933 have been reviewed personally.
