There are none. ""Over the last two decades, prostate cancer (PCa) has become one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide. In 2012, http://www.selleckchem.com/products/Bafetinib.html despite improved early diagnosis and innovative treatments, there were 28,000 PCa-related deaths in the United States only [1]. In fact, because of improved early diagnosis, population aging and environmental pollution, PCa will be first diagnosed in twice as many males in the next two decades as were diagnosed in 2008, when PCa was found in about 899,000 males worldwide [2]. The accumulated data show that, along with age and genetics, race is a very important factor affecting PCa incidence [3]. In some regions such as Northern Africa and South America, the incidence of PCa is less frequent. Usually the PCa incidence rates, as well as PCa-related mortality rates, are higher in the developed world: the United States, Canada, Australia, and some European countries [4]. There have been several publications analyzing PCa incidence and mortality data for Europe, as well as the world in general, where some information on Latvia is given [5]?and?[6]. The data provided testify to the fact that PCa mortality rates for Latvia (as well as other Baltic states) are the highest in Europe [5]?and?[6]. Our current study is based on the first comprehensive PCa epidemiology analysis carried out in Latvia over the 23-year period. It reveals trends in PCa incidence, prevalence and mortality, 5-, 10-, 15-, http://www.selleckchem.com/products/bay80-6946.html and 20-year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates. Our study included 14,805 PCa patients diagnosed between 1990 and 2012. The data on PCa were collected from a database in the Latvian Center for Disease Prevention and Control (LCDPC) which in its turn had inherited the database of the Latvian Cancer Register founded in 1973. The LCDPC has been accumulating and regularly updating all cancer-related information for the whole country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYO10 with a population of about 2 million. The LCDPC data on PCa were subjected to retrospective analysis. The study was approved by the Riga Stradins University Research Ethics Committee. The youngest patient diagnosed with PCa was 25 years old, the oldest, 97 years old. Six patients aged from 1 to 24 years, diagnosed with embryonic prostate cysts in the last 20 years and also included in the LCDPC register, were excluded from our study. PCa patients were grouped and categorized in 10-year age bands within which age-specific incidence, prevalence and mortality rates were analyzed. As there were only 31 patients younger than 45 years, they were excluded from the age-specific analysis as a statistically insignificant group and therefore we ended up having the following groups:
