The treatment of prostate cancer patients in Europe and the United States vary in some important ways, such as the frequency with which surgery is used and how long patients are expected to live after their diagnosis. However, many doctors believe that this difference may be due to differences in patient preferences rather than a difference between treatment approaches.

What is the most common cancer worldwide?
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with an estimated 1.1 million new cases each year worldwide, and also the second most common cause of cancer death in men. It is estimated that there were 238,000 deaths from prostate cancer in 2018. Prostate cancer is more likely to be diagnosed in older males; half of all cases are diagnosed in individuals over 65 years old.
It is the fourth most common cause of death from cancer worldwide and accounts for 1% of all deaths (717 000 people died from prostate cancer in 2012). In Europe it is estimated that there were 168 000 deaths from prostate cancer in 2012.
Is prostate cancer more common in Europe or the United States?
In the United States, prostate cancer is more common than breast cancer, but less common than lung and colorectal cancers. In Europe, prostate cancer is about as common as breast cancer. The incidence rate for prostate cancer in the United Kingdom is significantly lower than it is in the United States; however this difference may be due to differences in diagnostic guidelines between countries rather than actual differences in risk factors.
