The increasing rate of aging in the country has caused an imbalance in the medical care of the elderly population, mainly in the specialties of cardiology and urology.
An analysis of the expenses that society would have with the treatment of only benign prostatic diseases, which compromise about 40% of men over 70 years, the budget would be higher than all the forecasts of the Ministry of Health for the SUS of urology). This fact was directly related to the aging of the male population.
Urological neoplasms in general are also related to the aging of the male population and here it is emphasized that prostate cancer is the most frequent in these individuals, excluding non-melanoma skin tumors. In 2012 it was estimated that we would have about 60,180 new cases, which corresponds to a risk of 62 / 100,000 men. This incidence is higher in the Southeast, followed by the Center West and South. The frequency of this disease in autopsies of men around the age of 50 is about 40%, and the risk of significant disease is around 9.5%, with a risk of death of 2.9%. (data from the National Cancer Institute - 2012).
It is known that the risk is higher in families with ascendants with the disease and in black individuals.
Bladder cancer is the second largest urinary tract. In the state of São Paulo, it represents about 19.6 cases in men and 4.1 in women for every 100,000 inhabitants. It has been reported that the delay of 12 weeks in the accomplishment of the treatment in invasive tumors causes worsening of the global survival and specific cancer. This factor requires prompt assistance to these patients.
In addition to tumors, there are other pathologies with a high incidence in the population, and a clear example is renal lithiasis, the treatment of which encompasses a large number of techniques and instruments whose purpose is to reduce patients' suffering as much as possible and to promote recovery quickly and returns them to your social activities.
