The changes in prostate cancer and its management in the North West of England over a 10-year period

Abstract: Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate changes in prostate cancer diagnosis and management and to examine changes in the stage and grade of newly diagnosed prostate cancer in the North West of England over a 10-year period.

“…Similar proportions underwent radical prostatectomy and EBRT in earlier Australian studies. 4,5 In contrast, EBRT was twice as common as radical prostatectomy in a British study, 16 while the use of radical prostatectomy was similar to that of EBRT or brachytherapy in a recent American study. 17 The differences between Australia and these countries may be partly explained by differences in their health systems and costs reimbursement schedules.…”
