summary
- The aim of the study.
- Assessment of prostate cancer incidence in the Ma³opolska Province with reference to respective counties, in the years 1999-2001.
- Material and methods.
- Cancer reporting cards sent to the Ma³opolska Cancer Registry were the source of information. Average annual incidence as well as crude and standardised incidence rates per 100 000 of the population studied were calculated.
- Results.
- In the Ma³opolska Province, in the years 1999-2001, an average of 436 new prostate cancer cases were registered each year. These cancers constituted about 8.2% of all registered cancers in males. The percentage of diagnoses confirmed by histological examination was about 54.1%.
- Conclusions.
- The results of the study point to differentiation in prostate cancer incidence within the Ma³opolska Province area. The geographical analysis shows that the risk relating to this cancer is the highest among male residents of Nowy S±cz and Nowy S±cz County, and the O¶wiêcim County. The incidence rates in these regions exceed the average incidence of prostate cancer in Poland by 68.0% and the average Ma³opolska Province incidence by 49.0%.
