Prostatakræft

This review investigates prostate cancer which with approx. 4,500 new cases annually is the most frequent male cancer, and the incidence is expected to increase due to demographic developments. Prostate cancer can have a natural history without progression to symptomatic or fatal disease, which is why overdiagnosis is one of the disease's biggest challenges. In contrast to potential curable localized clinically significant disease, this is not the case after metastasis. Fortunately, new treatments, and not least combinations thereof, have increased both lifespan and quality of life in these patients significantly.
