Premature mortality due to malignancies of the kidney and bladder in Japan, 1980-2010.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows favorable trends in premature mortality for kidney and bladder cancers in Japan over a 30-year period; however, patients with bladder cancer on average lost a smaller proportion of their lifespan compared to those with kidney cancer. The development of a novel ALSS measure is convenient in examination of the burden of premature mortality over time. PMID: 30473546 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
