In a retrospective study 6890 patients with prostate cancer from the North Swedish Cancer Register were analyzed according to cancer specific survival. Prostate cancer mortality was 40% in patients with well differentiated cancers, 54% in patients with moderate differentiated prostate cancer and 72% in men with low differentiated prostate cancer. Prostate cancer mortality was 80% in men younger than 60 years, 63% in men 60-69 years old, 53% in men 70-79 years old and 49% in men older than 80 years.
