Abstract
BACKGROUND. Prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates in South Korea are relatively
low, but rising steadily.
METHODS. We examined age-standardized incidence andmortality trends of prostate cancer
in South Korea to gain further insight into prostate cancer etiology.
RESULTS. Although prostate cancer incidence has been low(7.9 per 100,000man-years), it has
increased up to 28.2% between 1996–1998 and 1999–2001. Prostate cancer mortality increased
12.7-fold over a 20-year period. Despite the increase in prostate cancer incidence and mortality
rates, marked differences in rates remain for Koreans, Korean Americans, and Caucasian
Americans.
CONCLUSIONS. The rising rates of prostate cancer in South Korea cannot be attributed
entirely to PSA screening due to the low PSA screening prevalence; this trend is most likely
related to increased westernization among Koreans. Interdisciplinary epidemiological studies
incorporating the collection of biological samples are needed to clarify the extent to which
lifestyle and genetic factors contribute to the observed racial disparity. Prostate 66: 1285–1291,
