Abstract
The crude annual incidence of prostate cancer in the European Union (EU) is 78.9/100 000 men. It is the most common cancer in men. The mortality in the EU is 30.6/100 000 men/year. Though the incidence and survival rates vary widely between different EU States, mortality rates are similar.Keywords
