BACKGROUND
The third American College of Surgeons pattern of care survey for cancer of the prostate is underway to document the current methods and means of presentation, diagnosis, and clinical management of patients in the United States.
METHODS
Questions about the geographic distribution and methods of treatment by stage and grade together with patient mix and survival information will be answered from the data collected from more than 950 hospitals across the United States for the period 1984-1990. May 1992 was the final date for submission of data for this survey.
CONCLUSIONS
Prostate cancer continues to be the most common cancer in men, excluding skin cancer. The annual number of patients with this disease reported in the National Cancer Database for 1988 was 26,957, an increase of 9427 cases yearly since the end of the second American College of Surgeons' survey in 1983.
背景
美国外科医师学会开展的第三次前列腺癌治疗模式调查正在进行中，旨在记录美国当前前列腺癌患者的就诊方式、诊断方法及临床管理手段。
方法
通过收集美国950多家医院在1984年至1990年期间的数据，回答有关前列腺癌按分期和分级的地理分布、治疗方法以及患者构成和生存信息等问题。1992年5月是本次调查数据提交的截止日期。
结论
前列腺癌仍是男性中最常见的癌症（不包括皮肤癌）。1988年国家癌症数据库报告的该病患者年数量为26957例，自1983年美国外科医师学会第二次调查结束以来，每年增加9427例。
