Prostate cancer diagnostics: evolution over 30 years and the impact of education level – a prospective population-based study
Early detection and diagnostic methods for PCa have evolved over the last 30 years. In a healthcare system where men diagnosed with PCa had equal access to diagnostic pathways, no differences are seen in PCa specific mortality. Nevertheless, men with lower education level still had higher overall mortality.
