Abstract

In 2001, about 292,900 genitourinary cancers were diagnosed in the United States [1]. The anatomic sites were prostate, 198,100; urinary bladder, 54,000; kidney and renal pelvis, 30,800; testes, 7200; ureter and other urinary organs, 2400; and penis and other male genital organs, 1200.

“The limitation of a method constitutes no reflection upon its user unless he fails to recognize it.”

O. Wangensteen, M.D.
