PROSTATE CANCER;
The little big problem
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in
Cyprus, second only to cardiovascular disease, but
per the Ministry of Health, the number of deaths
caused by cancer increased by 19%, to 5.3% for
cardiovascular diseases, making it an even bigger
and ever-growing threat. Prostate cancer is the most
commonly diagnosed cancer in men and is responsible
for 2.9% of all male deaths in Cyprus, and 3% of all
male deaths in Europe.
