Prostate Cancer Trends, 1973-1995
Prostate Cancer Trends, 1973-1995 offers one of the most comprehensive population-based
evaluations ever published on demographic and clinical features of prostate cancer cases. The
results provide insights into the likely directions for prostate cancer research over the next
decade, related to etiology and prevention, early detection and therapy.
These population-based data are extremely important in furthering our understanding of
this cancer, which has the distinction of being the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and their second leading
cause of cancer death. Prostate cancer has been the source of enormous public and professional interest over the last few years.
The recent introduction of PSA screening and changes in disease management have led to changes in incidence trends and
treatment, and these are extensively chronicled in this publication.
This monograph was assembled through the work
of Contributing Editors from 11 SEER registries
and the SEER staff. It was published in 1999 by the
Cancer Statistics Branch of the NCI.
Highlights from the chapters and links to PDF files containing the full text are provided. You may use the PDFs to view or print the chapters,
