Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, with an estimated 1.276 million new cases reported in 2018, representing 7.1% of all cancer cases in men.
The mortality rate for prostate cancer is also high, with an estimated 37,005 deaths worldwide in 2018.
However, the mortality rate varies greatly by region, with Western Africa having the fifth-highest risk for prostate cancer mortality in the world, and Nigeria having the largest population and economy in this region.
In Nigeria, prostate cancer is both the most common and most deadly cancer for men, with an estimated 32.8 cases and 16.3 deaths per 100,000 men.
This is more than double the death rate in North America.
Late detection of the disease, limited resources for screening and detection, and decreased documentation and reporting of cases contribute to the high mortality rate in Nigeria.
In the United States, prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in men, with approximately 40,0000 men dying from the disease each year.
The prostate cancer death rate has been slowly decreasing since the early 1990s, but it remains a significant health concern.
Overall, prostate cancer is a deadly disease, particularly in regions with limited access to medical care and screening resources.
However, early detection and treatment can significantly improve outcomes and reduce mortality rates.
