Recent Patterns and Trends in Global Prostate Cancer Incidence and Mortality: An Update.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Our aim was to examine worldwide patterns and trends for prostate cancer (PC) incidence and mortality using high-quality, up-to-date, population-based data.

Methods

We analyzed age-standardized PC incidence and mortality rates by country and region from the 2022 GLOBOCAN estimates and temporal trends in incidence (50 countries/territories) and mortality (59 countries/territories) rates using data from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents series and the World Health Organization mortality database.

Key findings and limitations

Estimated PC rates across regions in 2022 varied 13-fold for incidence and 9.5-fold for mortality. The highest incidence rates were in Australia/New Zealand, North America, Northern Europe, and Latin America/Caribbean.
