ICD-11 code : 2C82;
Preferred Label : Malignant neoplasms of prostate;
ICD-11 definition : Prostate cancer contributes significantly to the overall cancer burden, being the
most frequent malignant neoplasia in men. The number of cases has continuously increased
over the past decades, partly due to the higher life expectancy. An additional factor
is the Western lifestyle, characterized by a highly caloric diet and lack of physical
exercise. Epidemiological data indicates that black people are most susceptible, followed
by white people, while Asian people have the lowest risk. The extent to which prostate
cancer mortality can be reduced by PSA screening, is currently being evaluated. Histopathological
diagnosis and grading play a major role in the management of prostate cancer;
ICD-11 synonym : primary prostate cancer; prostate gland cancer; prostate cancer; malignant tumour of prostate; cancer of prostate; primary malignant neoplasm of prostate; carcinoma of prostate; malignant prostatic tumour;
