5. The expectations
Health care burden of PCa is expected to
increase dramatically the coming years in
Europe:
• Ageing society will lead to higher
incidence and thus prevalence
• As a result the costs related to
PCa will increase significantly
Now is the time to raise greater awareness of Prostate Cancer in the EU!
