With approximately 50,400 new cases and an estimated 8,100 deaths in France in 2018, prostate cancer represents a significant public health challenge. The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age. This cancer occurs in approximately 66% of cases in men aged 65 and over.¹ In recent years, both the incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer have declined.
