Summary: Renal cancers represent 2-3% of the total number of carcinomas. Renal cancer occupies the third position among all tumors of the urinary tract following prostatic carcinoma and urinary bladder tumors. There are great geographic differences and incidence ranges from 1 to 20 in various countries. Kidney cancer is more frequent in urban population. The sex ratio is two males/one female. The increase in renal cancer incidence may be related to predisposing factors.
Key words: Renal parenchymal tumors, epidemiology, predisposing factors
EPIDEMIOLOGIJA I FAVORIZIRAJUĆI FAKTORI U NASTANKU TUMORA BUBREŽNOG PARENHIMA

Kratak sadržaj: Karcinom bubrega čini 2-3% svih karcinoma. Po učestalosti među tumorima urogenitalnog sistema nalazi se na trećem mestu, posle karcinoma prostate i mokraćne bešike. Dva puta je češći kod muškaraca. Incidenca karcinoma bubrega varira u zavisnosti od pola i podneblja imajući u vidu starosnu dob. U radu autor, koristeći najnovije reference, analizira epidemiologiju i faktore rizika u nastanku karcinoma bubrežnog parenhima.
