Abstract
We performed analysis of the patients operated at the Clinic for Urology of the University Hospital Osijek over a 10- year-period to diagnosis of renal or prostate cancer. The total of 421 patients were treated for prostate cancer; 45 of them underwent radical prostatectomy. Renal cancer was diagnosed in 285 patients; out of them 71 underwent radical procedures, the rest were simple nephrectomies and only 4 of them partial nephrectomies. Common for all our patients was a large percentage of advanced stages at the time of diagnosis, which was the reason for limited number of raical procedures. All other epidemiological characteristics, except a lower male to female ratio in renal cancer patients, were in correlation with references.
