Background:
Prostate cancer is one of the most common health issues among men, especially older men. In recent years, incidences of prostate cancer is increasing.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive estimate of the survival of prostate cancer in Asian countries.
Methods:
We searched five international databases including Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Knowledge and ProQuest until June 1, 2018. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment was used to evaluate the quality of selected papers. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019117044).
Results:
A total of 714 titles were retrieved. Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Based on the random-effect model one-year, five-year and ten-year survival rate of prostate cancer were 81% (95% CI 77.8-84.2), 61.9% (95% CI 59.5-64.3) and 36.2% (95% CI 9.2-63.2) respectively. Survival rates based on HDI level for five-year were 30.07, 43.43 and 70.84 percent for medium, high and very high levels, respectively.
Conclusion:
According to the results of our study, the prostate cancer survival rate in Asian countries is relatively lower than in Europe and North America.
