10.2.4 Prostate Cancer
10.2.4.1 Risk Factors
Cancer Research UK provide more information on the risk factors for prostate cancer
(Cancer Research UK 2008) as detailed in this paragraph. Age, family history and
ethnicity are established risk factors, but no modifiable risk factors have been identified.
Many other factors have been studied but the evidence is inconclusive. These potential
factors include diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, bodyweight, physical activity,
medications, previous medical procedures and infections, endogenous hormones and
diabetes.
10.2.4.2 Incidence
Information relating to the incidence of prostate cancer is given in section 10.2.1.2 on
page 502.
10.2.4.3 Inpatient Hospital Admissions
Table 260 gives the total number of daycase and inpatient admissions over the three
year period 2007/08 to 2009/10 and the average annual directly age standardised
admission rate for admissions (DSR) for men where the primary diagnosis was prostate
cancer (for at least one of the clinician episodes during the hospital stay) per 100,000
resident population (standardised to Hull‟s 2009 population). As previously mentioned,
usage of services will depend on many different things, such as prevalence of risk
factors and disease, willingness of visit GPs, referral rates within Primary Care,
accessibility of Primary and Secondary Care services, etc.
