Causes of Death Among Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer in the US From 2000 to 2016.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Owing to improved survival among US patients with prostate cancer (PC), patients tend to live long enough after a PC diagnosis for non-cancer-related comorbidities to be associated with their overall survival.
