Abstract

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the second malignant tumor Revised on 28 May 2021, Accepted on 18 June 2021 worldwide after lung cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in males. The prostate cancer incidence and mortality DOI: 10.20959/wjpr20218-20810 worldwide correlate with increasing age, the average age is 66 years. The incidence of prostate cancer in Iraq and Asia is relatively lower *Corresponding Author Zainab Haider Al Bader than United states and Europe. Aim: This study aims to find the M.B.Ch.B. incidence rate of prostate carcinoma in Basra city. The study also aims to evaluate the age-year and age-Gleason score relationships during the period of study. Materials and Method: Data were collected from computerized histological reports archives from governmental hospitals and private pathologic laboratories in Basra from 2015 through the year 2019. Demographic data were based on age and Gleason score. Results: The total number of 160 cases were included in this study. While the 5-year incidence rate was 2.2 per 100000 men, The year 2015 carried the highest incidence rate (2.8 per 100000 men). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate among the study years. The mean age of the patients was 69.11 years. There was no significant difference in the patient age means among the study years, It is noticeable that there is statistical significant difference among the mean cancer grades during the study years. The highest- grade mean was the year 2016 (7.42) and the lowest grade mean was in the year 2015 (6.42). There was statistically significant no any correlation between the patients' age and cancer grade. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the incidence rate was 2.2 per 100000 men in the five years (2015-2019) while the year 2015 carried the highest incidence rate (2.8 per 100000 men), the lowest rate was in the year (2019) (1.7 per 100.000 men). The mean age was 69.11 year and there is no significant difference in relation with study years, also there is no significant relationship between the age and Gleason score.
