Abstract
Actual level of prostate cancer incidence taking into account the cumulative ecological risk and the quality of diagnosis in the Chelyabinsk region has been established. The authors state that available prostate cancer incidence data is misleading and significantly lower than the real occurrence of disease due to inadequate diagnosis. Besides, the data does not clearly correlate with cumulative ecological risk. The necessity to introduce screening and prophylactic programs for improving the quality of diagnosis is underlined.
