ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the morbidity trend of prostate cancer since the clinical usage of PSA was introduced in Beijing Hospital.Methods Retrospectively we analyzed prostate cancer cases diagnosed in Beijing Hospital from 1995 to 2008.The incidence, age, PSA and clinical stage at diagnosis were taken into account.Results Four hundred and thirty-two cases were enrolled into the study.Who were aged 40 - 90 years old, mean age 72.0 ± 7.8 years.The most frequent age at diagnosis was 70 to 79 years.The incidence increased annually with the most significant increase taking place in 2007 and 2008.Compared with the period 1995 to 1999, the localized prostate cancer rate between 2004 and 2008 increased from 23.9% to 36.3%; the metastatic prostate cancer rate decreased from 49.3% to 32.1%; the rate of patients with PSA 4 - 10 ng,/ml increased from 12.7% to 29.2%; the rate of PSA ＞ 100 ng/ml decreased from 22.5% to 13.2%.Conclusions The incidence and early detection rate of prostate cancer in Beijing Hospital increased from 1995 to 2008.The age at diagnosis had not significantly changed.However, the early detection rate should be improved.
