Localized prostate cancer. Relationship of tumor volume to clinical significance for treatment of prostate cancer.
Cancer. 1993; (3 Suppl): 933-8
Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute and American total mortality rates, the authors calculated the probability at birth of having a diagnosis of prostate cancer within a man's life to be 8.8% and then subtracted the incidence of microscopic Stage A cancers too small to ever be clinically significant. This gave a final probability of 8%.
