Malignant neoplasms of prostate

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

Prostate cancer contributes significantly to the overall cancer burden, being the most frequent malignant neoplasia in men. The number of cases has continuously increased over the past decades, partly due to the higher life expectancy. An additional factor is the Western lifestyle, characterised by a highly caloric diet and lack of physical exercise. Epidemiological data indicates that black people are most susceptible, followed by white people, while Asian people have the lowest risk. The extent to which prostate cancer mortality can be reduced by PSA screening is currently being evaluated. Histopathological diagnosis and grading play a major role in the management of prostate cancer.
