Prostate cancer clinical presentation, incidence, mortality and survival in Guadeloupe over the period 2008–2013 from a population-based cancer registry
2017
Purpose
The Caribbean population of Guadeloupe has one of the highest incidence rates of prostate cancer worldwide. In 2008, a population-based cancer registry was set up for the monitoring of cancer incidence in the aftermath of the environmental pollution with chlordecone, a persistent organochlorine insecticide formerly used in banana plantations. We describe the clinical presentation, incidence, mortality and survival of prostate cancer for the period 2008–2013.
