Abstract:
Prostate cancer incidence increased dramatically in Missouri in the 1990s. However, this study demonstrates that the increased incidence parallels the dramatic increase in the earliest stage of the disease. Increased detection for prostate cancer is believed to play a strong role in this rising incidence. Continued surveillance for prostate cancer is necessary to determine the significance of the sharp rise in the incidence in Missouri.
