Prostate cancer screening and associated factors in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Prostate cancer screening in Ethiopia remains low, with marked regional differences. Uptake is higher among older men, those with higher income, prior awareness, family history, or regular health checkups. Targeted educational programs and improved access to screening are urgently needed. Nationwide, longitudinal, and mixed-method studies are essential to evaluate interventions and understand behavioral, cultural, and systemic factors affecting screening practices.
