In 2012, 417,000 were diagnosed Europe highest Northern Western such as Norway (129/100,000) lowest Southeastern Albania [3]. The UK places it 17th overall an age-standardised rate 104.7 cases/100,000 1.3 1.4). It thought that widespread differences screening practices, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, digital rectal examination (DRE) may explain variation country to incidence.
