Background: Prostate cancer is a global health concern. In Iran, its epidemiology is not precisely recognized. We aimed to evaluate incidence of prostate cancer among Iranian populations. Methods: In this systematic review, we searched the databases PubMed, Web of Sciences, Scopus and Google Scholar for English studies and the databases Magiran, Scientific information Database, IranMedex and IranDoc for Persian studies, using related keywords. The cross sectional articles published from inception to 31 December 2018 were included. Meta-analysis was conducted on the collected data with STATA software using random effects model. Results: Out of 763 articles initially obtained, 9 articles were finally included after applying the predefined exclusion criteria. Analysis of 9 studies on the incidence of prostate cancer showed a crude rate of 7.1 per 100000 population (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.6-8.6). Also, the pooled age-standardized incidence rate was 8.7 per 100000 (95% CI: 6.7-10.4). Studies performed in the period 2004-2012 had significantly a higher pooled estimate of the crude incidence rate (9.2 per 100000 [95% CI: 7.9-10.4]) compared with those conducted in the period 1996-2003 (4.5 per 100000 [95% CI: 2.8-6.2]). This trend was also observed based on the age-standardized incidence rate (11 per 100000 [95% CI: 9.4-12.5] versus 6.3 per 100000[95% CI: 4-8.5]).Conclusion: Despite low rate of prostate cancer occurrence in Iran, it is recommended that preventive measures be taken against this disease by health policymakers. Also, more epidemiological studies are needed to better find out the pattern of prostate cancer among Iranian populations.

Emerging Issues

Globally prostate cancer is the second most familiar and fifth-most hostile neoplasm among male individuals. One of the emerging issues in men is prostate cancer. The Prostate is a ductal small walnut-shaped gland situated in men below the urinary bladder that produces the seminal fluid for sperms provision and transportation. The risk of emerging prostate cancer during the man’s lifetime is one out of seven. According to the epidemiological studies, different environmental and genetic factors are associated with the progression of abnormal prostate cell growth which ultimately causes the development of cancerous cells. The chances of prostate cancer occurrence are more in those patients with familial member’s history, and it can be more by two to three-folds associated with first-rank relatives to get prostate cancer. In the current review different risk factors which are associated with the development of prostate cancer, are discussed. Keywords: Prostate cancer, Risk factors, Male, BRCA1, BRAC2.
