PROSTATE CANCER: ANALYSIS OF 10 – YEAR DATA FROM A CANCER REGISTRY DR A. T, ATANDA BAYERO UNIVERSITY/AMINU KANO TEACHING HOSPITAL, KANO
BACKGROUND • Developed countries: progressive decline in the incidence of prostate cancer in the last decade • Developing countries: Paucity of data in this regard from developing countries of West Africa. • This study of 10-year data emanating from a Cancer Registry in Nigeria aims to add to available data.
MATERIALS AND METHODS • Data from Kano Cancer Registry on all biopsy validated prostate cancer cases were retrieved and analyzed for age distribution, age-adjusted incidence rate and tumor grade.
RESULTS • 2004 – 2013 studied • 626 CaP • 11.2% of all cancers and • 23.9% of all male cancers • The ages ranged from 30 to 122 years with mean of 67.2±10.6 years. • It ranked 1st among male and 3rd among all cancers.
RESULTS • The Age-standardized rate was 26.4 per 100,000 population and • rates increased progressively from the 4th decade to the 7th and over, • increase in incidence rate of 37.6% between 2004 -2008 and 2009-2013. crude increase of 221%
RESULTS • Gleason scores 5 – 6, accounted for 37.7% • ≥70 years, high grade tumors were more frequent (p = 0.003018).

CONCLUSION • In disparity to data from developed countries there is an increase in incidence rate for prostate cancer among Nigerian men, • higher grade tumors are more frequent among the elderly. • There is need for institution of a national screening program.
