The number of prostate cases reported is increasing markedly in the United States and worldwide. The cause for the increase as well as the reason for the marked geographic and racial differences in the epidemiology of prostate cancer, is poorly understood. Nevertheless, such information is essential for understanding the biology of the disease, and for the rational implementation of detection strategies, disease prevention, and appropriate treatment. These important epidemiological concerns were recently discussed at an International Symposium on the Epidemiology of Early Prostate Cancer.
在美国和全球范围内，报告的前列腺病例数量正在显著增加。前列腺癌发病率上升的原因以及该疾病流行病学中显著的地理和种族差异的原因，目前还知之甚少。然而，这些信息对于理解该疾病的生物学特性、合理实施检测策略、疾病预防及适当治疗至关重要。近期在一次早期前列腺癌流行病学国际研讨会上讨论了这些重要的流行病学问题。
