Key Words Prostate cancer; Incidence; Arab World; Screening
Core Tip Despite the very low incidence and the number of deaths from prostate cancer in the Arab World, it is expected to increase. In Saudi Arabia, the crude incidence rate and age standardized incidence rate of prostate cancer are reported to be steadily increasing in between 2001-2008. Men in the Arab world are characterized by poor knowledge and poor attitude towards prostate cancer examination and screening practices. We recommend against mass screening, but men should be encouraged to do PSA testing before the age of 50 and till the age of 70 years, through shared decision making.
