It is estimated that, in EU-27 countries in 2020, prostate cancer accounted for 23.2% of all new cancer cases (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers) diagnosed in men and for 9.9% of all deaths due to cancer in men. This made it the most frequently occurring cancer in men and the third cause of cancer death in men–after lung and colorectal cancers.
