Abstract

Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer among men of African Ancestry with increasing morbidity and mortality. This worsening morbidity and mortality has been attributed to a very late presentation of cases. This study was a retrospective study spanning 8 years from January 2015 to December 2023. All were histopathologically confirmed. The aim was to review the pattern of clinical presentations. Out of the 202 cases, 190 (94.1%) were found to be advanced at presentation. Of these advanced diseases, the most common presentation was lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) with 80 cases (42.1%) followed by lower back pains with 45 cases (23.7%). Other main presentations were gross haematuria, gross weight loss, acute and chronic urinary retention. In our environment, metastatic disease was the most common stage at presentation.
