Survival Rate of Prostate Cancer in Asian Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prostate cancer is one of the most common health issues among men, especially older men. In recent years, incidences of prostate cancer is increasing.

Objective

The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive estimate of the survival of prostate cancer in Asian countries.

Methods

We searched five international databases including Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Knowledge and ProQuest until June 1, 2018. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment was used to evaluate the quality of selected papers. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019117044).

Results

A total of 714 titles were retrieved. Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Based on the random-effect model one-year, five-year and ten-year survival rate of prostate cancer were 81% (95% CI 77.8-84.2), 61.9% (95% CI 59.5-64.3) and 36.2% (95% CI 9.2-63.2) respectively. Survival rates based on HDI level for five-year were 30.07, 43.43 and 70.84 percent for medium, high and very high levels, respectively.

Conclusion

According to the results of our study, the prostate cancer survival rate in Asian countries is relatively lower than in Europe and North America.
