Diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in Central America and the Caribbean

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer among men.Differences in mortality among countries reveal discrepancies in prevention, early detection, treatment access, diagnostic tests, and disease management.Due to the lack of evidence of an optimal treatment sequence, specialists in Urology and Oncology from six different countries in Central America and the Caribbean (CAC) developed homogenous guidelines to standardize and optimize PC care in the region.These recommendations are based on the experience of the experts to homogenize current knowledge, focusing on patients' needs, and adapting the guidelines to the context of CAC countries.
