Overview
In 2012, the prevalence of prostate cancer was estimated to be 2,800 cases per 100,000 men in the United States. The incidence of prostate cancer is approximately 137.9 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. It usually affects individuals of the African American race. Asian, Hispanic and White individuals are less likely to develop prostate cancer. The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 66 years.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- In 2012, the prevalence of prostate cancer was estimated to be 2,800 cases per 100,000 men in the United States.[1]
- In the United States, the age-adjusted prevalence of prostate cancer is 1,690 per 100,000 in 2011.[2]
- Rates of prostate cancer vary widely across the world. Although the rates vary widely between countries, it is least common in South and East Asia, more common in Europe, and most common in the United States.[3]
Incidence
- The incidence of prostate cancer is approximately 137.9 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The number of deaths was 21.4 per 100,000 men per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2008-2012 cases and deaths.[1]
- In 2011, the delay-adjusted incidence of prostate cancer was estimated to be 145.2 per 100,000 men in the United States.[2]
- In 2011, the age-adjusted incidence of prostate cancer was 139.89 per 100,000 men in the United States.[2]
Age
- The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 66 years.
- While the overall age-adjusted incidence of prostate cancer in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 147.6 per 100,000, the age-adjusted incidence of prostate cancer by age category is:[2]
- Under 65 years: 57.8 per 100,000
- 65 and over: 768.2 per 100,000
- Shown below is an image depicting the incidence of prostate cancer by age and race in the United States between 1975 and 2011.[2]
Race
- It usually affects individuals of the African American race. Asian, Hispanic and White individuals are less likely to develop prostate cancer.[4][5]
- Shown below is a table depicting the age-adjusted prevalence of prostate cancer by race in 2011 in the United States.[2]
| All Races | White | Black | Asian/Pacific Islander | Hispanic | |
| Age-adjusted prevalence | 1690 per 100,000 | 1680 per 100,000 | 2610 per 100,000 | 870 per 100,000 | 1320 per 100,000 |
- Shown below is an image depicting the incidence of prostate cancer by race in the United States between 1975 and 2011.[2]
API: Asian/Pacific Islander; AI/AN: American Indian/ Alaska Native
