Resumen

La detección temprana del cáncer de próstata en Latinoamérica es muy baja, ya que los pacientes por lo general llegan con enfermedad avanzada; esporádicamente se realizan campañas de cribado del cáncer de próstata que nos permiten detectar esta enfermedad en estadios tempranos. Las tasas de incidencia y mortalidad varían de país en país; probablemente hay un subregistro en nuestra región, al no contar con registros que muestren la incidencia general por país, sino por ciudades.

Abstract

There is a very low rate of early prostate cancer detection in Latin America, since patients usually are diagnosed when the disease is in advanced stages. Sporadic prostate cancer screening campaigns do exist which allow us to diagnose this disease in earlier stages. Incidence and mortality rates differ widely from country to country, and they are probably underreported in our region since registers may be city-based instead of country-based.
