Overview
Introduction:
The incidence of cancer in the Czech Republic has increasing trend. Prostate cancer has been among the most common malignant tumours in men since 2005. Testing PSA is not recognized as the official screening method, yet it’s frequently used.
Patients and methods:
Patients were obtained from the offices of 5 collaborating general practitioners from patients registered at these practitioners between 2002 and 2014. A general practitioner evaluated medical documentation of studied patients. The focus was on the early detection of prostate cancer and selected epidemiological characteristics in total of 1,601 men.
Results:
The mean age of men in the prostate cancer patients was 59.5 years and the median age was 61 years. In 48 men were found higher (n = 44) or borderline (n = 4) PSA levels. Of these 48 men, 13 were diagnosed with prostate cancer based on higher PSA levels. A total of 45 newly diagnosed prostate carcinomas were studied in the study.
Conclusion:
In spite of the increasing incidence of prostate cancer, we can see a decrease in mortality in recent years. This may be due to more frequent testing and advancements in the therapy. At present, diagnosis of the disease, in addition to the PSA, is based on the examination of the rectum and prostate biopsy. PSA is one of the major markers in the diagnosis and control of prostate cancer therapy. An active approach to preventive examinations is also important.
