Temporal trends in diagnostic work-up, treatment, and mortality in locally advanced prostate cancer in 2016–2024: nationwide, population-based study in Sweden

Key Points

To evaluate the temporal trends in diagnostic processes, treatment approaches, and mortality rates in men with locally advanced prostate cancer from 2016 to 2024.
Analyzed nationwide, population-based data on men with locally advanced prostate cancer in Sweden.
Examined trends in the use of MRI before biopsy, radical radiotherapy, and abiraterone treatment.
Monitored mortality rates over a 3-year period.
MRI usage before biopsy rose significantly over the analyzed years.
Radical radiotherapy and abiraterone treatment saw increased application.
Observed a modest decline in 3-year prostate cancer mortality rates.

Abstract

In this nationwide, population-based study of men with locally advanced PCa, the use of MRI before biopsy, radical radiotherapy, and treatment with abiraterone increased over time. These changes coincided with a modest decrease in 3-year PCa mortality.
