Recent Patterns and Trends in Global Prostate Cancer Incidence and Mortality: An Update
The increase in PC incidence and mortality rates in many countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America/Caribbean may be because of increases in detection (incidence) and limited access to and availability of treatments (mortality only). The findings reinforce the importance of improving the health care infrastructure in these countries to mitigate the rising burden of PC.
