Abstract

Background: Prostate cancer commonly occurs in older men. Since TNM staging excludes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and Gleason score, patients with prostate cancer are divided into risk groups when deciding on treatment options. This study determined the profile and risk stratification of patients with prostate cancer treated at the Department of Oncology, Universitas Annex in Bloemfontein, Free State, during 2008 to 2010.
