Abstract:
What's new? The increasing rates of kidney cancer incidence have been attributed to increasing exposure to environmental risk factors and increasing levels of incidental diagnosis. Here, the authors find that the effects of birth cohort (a proxy for changes in risk factor prevalence) and calendar period (a proxy for changes in detection practice) both contribute to the international kidney cancer incidence trends. Furthermore, while cohort‐specific increases may partly reflect the rising trends in obesity and the need for more effective primary prevention policies, attenuations in period‐specific increases in high‐incidence countries highlight a possible change in imaging practices with potential overdiagnosis mitigation.
