Many reports about the increase of renal cell carcinoma patients have been published in Japan recently, however, the real fluctuations in the total number of patients in relation to the change of population have not been reported yet. Most of the patients with renal cell carcinoma in the last 10 years were examined in Chiba prefecture, which has a population of about five million and 25 active urological offices. Histologically confirmed cases were investigated by sending questionnaire letters. The items were as follows; sex, age, address, occupation, family history, past history, symptoms, examination methods that first detected the tumor, operation date, tumor diameter and clinical stage. Twenty two offices returned answers and 560 cases who lived in Chiba were found to have renal cell carcinoma from 1980 to 1989. Yearly incidence rates per 100,000 persons demonstrated a significant increase from 0.32 to 2.07. Small, asymptomatic and low stage cancers have been increasing rapidly, however, the rate of metastatic disease has not shown any decrease. The main cause of rapid increase seems to be attributed to progress in diagnostic methods and increase of early detection, but the possibility of an increase in some carcinogenic factors can not be ruled out.
