  1. Prostate Cancer Craig Blundred

  2. Overview • Disease Definition • Epidemiological Classification • Symptoms • Disease Burden • Incidence • Mortality • Health Services • Who? • Geographical Distribution

  3. Disease Definition • Prostate cancer is a malignant tumour of the prostate • ICD 10 Code C61 / ICD9 185 • Most common cancer in men in Western countries • Aetiology of the disease is not well known

  4. Symptoms • The same as for BPH • Difficulty urinating / Increased need to urinate • Blood in the Urine • Often no symptoms until metastatic disease occurs

  5. Rate per 100000population Incidence & Mortality Source: Cancer Research UK

  6. Incidence Rates Source: Cancer Research UK

  7. Mortality Rates Source: Cancer Research UK

  8. Regional Variations Sources: Welsh Cancer Intelligence & Surveillance Unit, IDS Scotland, National Statistics, Northern Ireland Cancer Registry

  9. Impact on Health Services Source: http://www.hesonline.nhs.uk

  10. Impact on Health Services • Prescription Costs for England 2005 • Prostate Cancer and Gonadorelin Analogues • 625100 prescription items dispensed • £126,375,600 Source: Health and Social Care Information Centre

  11. Population Details • Age • Prostate Cancer is a disease of older people • Some estimate that if you live until you’re 90, 90% of men will have prostate cancer Source: Cancer Research UK

  12. Population Details • Socioeconomic status • Incidence rates higher in more affluent men • Survival rates higher in more affluent men • Difficult to identify socioeconomic status from figures

  13. Population Details • Ethnicity • Difficult to ascertain but some ethnic groups appear to be more susceptible • Within the USA, African-Americans have a higher rate than Caucasian Americans • Migrants moving from low risk to high risk areas acquire the local incidence rate

  14. International Comparisons Eurostat Atlas of Mortality in the European Union 2002

  15. Data Quality • Main Data Sources • Cancer Registries • Office of National Statistics • Hospital Episode Statistics • Prescription Cost Analysis

  16. Data Quality • Cancer Registries • Systematic collection of data to assist in the management of disease • Core data collected with optional categories • Core data does not include ethnicity and has markers of socioeconomic status which could be contentious • Death certification

  17. Data Quality • Office for National Statistics • Gets data from Cancer Registries and Hospital Episode Statistics • Hospital Episode Statistics • Combines cancers of the male genital organs and so includes testicular and penile cancers • Prescription Cost Analysis • Useful for costing the burden of disease • No geographical variations
