Country with the highest rate of Prostate cancer?

Posted by Yuri Urkel on November 8th, 2009 and filed under what is prostate cancer |

Also, can you provide the country with the lowest rate of prostate cancer?

Science has a hard time with one aspect of the above answer. That is the extent to which testing for this problem is sought. Third world countries often don’t screen for this. More screening means more detection.

    The United States, Canada, countries of Western Europe, and Australia specifically Sweden but excluding Italy and Greece, are the countries with the highest incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of prostate cancer in the world. These countries are considered high-risk countries. Countries in Asia, particularly Japan, are considered low-risk countries. Researchers attribute prostate cancer risk based on location to three factors: UV light, testing prevalence, and traditional diet.
