O câncer de próstata contribui significativamente para a carga geral de câncer, e é a neoplasia maligna mais comum em homens. O número de casos tem aumentado consistentemente ao longo das últimas décadas, em parte devido a maior expectativa de vida. Fator contributivos adicionais incluem aspectos do estilo de vida ocidental, tais como dietas altamente calóricas e pouca atividade física. Os dados epidemiológicos sugerem que as taxas de incidência variam entre populações, com as mais elevadas sendo observadas em indivíduos de descendência africana, seguidos pelas de indivíduos de descendência europeia, enquanto as taxas são as mais baixas em algumas populações asiáticas. O impacto do rastreamento pelo antígeno prostático específico (PSA) na redução da mortalidade está atualmente em avaliação. O diagnóstico histopatológico e o estadiamento permanecem como componentes críticos na abordagem do câncer de próstata. | |||
