Cáncer, Incidencia, mortalidad, tumores genitourinarios, cáncer de próstataResumen
El cáncer se presenta como una de las principales causas de mortalidad a nivel global y su incidencia muestra una tendencia ascendente, atribuible al envejecimiento poblacional, la implementación de nuevas herramientas diagnósticas y la disponibilidad de terapias innovadoras. En el hombre, el cáncer de próstata destaca como una de las neoplasias con mayor incidencia y prevalencia, asociado además a una elevada tasa de mortalidad excluyendo el cáncer de piel. El conocimiento detallado de la incidencia, la mortalidad y, en particular, la carga de enfermedad de esta neoplasia reviste suma relevancia, ya que permite la formulación e implementación de medidas y estrategias en las políticas de salud, con el objetivo de mitigar el impacto negativo tanto en la salud pública como en la economía de los países. A nivel global en el año 2021, se registraron 432 463 defunciones por cáncer de próstata, mientras que en México la cifra ascendió a 8860. En México y el mundo, el cáncer de próstata es una neolplasia muy prevalente y representa una alta carga de enfermedad. La intervención oportuna es necesaria para mitigar su impacto.
