UROLOGIC CANCERS
Some urologic cancers impact both men and women. These are cancers of the bladder, kidneys
and adrenal glands. Other urologic cancers such as penile, prostate and testicular only affect
men. No matter what kind of urologic cancer one has, it can be scary. The good news is that
knowledge is power. Here are a few numbers and percentages to help you stay informed.

MILLION
The number of open urologic
cancer clinical trials listed
on ClinicalTrials.gov as of

trials help researchers find new
ways to prevent, diagnosis and
treat cancer. There are also
research studies that explore
ways to support caregivers
of urologic cancer patients.

cancer killer (behind
lung cancer).
15-35
The most common age range for testicular
cancer to be found. Testicular cancer is found
mainly in younger men. Because treatment
for testicular cancer is so successful, the

the cancer is localized. This means that the
cancer is still contained within the testicle.
