چکیده
Prostate cancer is a common male malignant disease worldwide. Its incidence rate varies widely between countries and ethnic populations. The incidence rates in Asian countries are much lower compared to Western countries. Environmental exposure, diet and lifestyle, as well as quality of the health care system and penetrance of prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening affect the reported incidence rates. In Hong Kong, prostate cancer ranked the third most common male cancer and the fifth major causes of male cancer death in 2008. Over 1300 cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in 2008.
