It was initially a disease of older men above the age of 55\u00a0years. Of recent, there has been reports of increase in the number of young men &lt;55\u00a0years with prostate cancer (PCa). The disease in this age group has been reported to be more lethal because of aggressive characteristics and metastatic potential. Different populations have different proportions of young-onset PCa. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of young men aged &lt;55\u00a0years with PCa in Nigeria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data on the prevalence of young men &lt;55\u00a0years with PCa was extracted from the 2022 report of the prevalence of cancer in Nigeria from 2009 to 2016 based on the records of 15 major Cancer Registries in Nigeria. This was a publication of the Nigerian Ministry of Health and represents the most up to date data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 4864 men diagnosed with malignancies before age 55, PCa was the second common, following liver cancer. Out of a total of 4091 cases of PCa in all age groups, 355 were diagnosed in men &lt;55\u00a0years representing 8.86%. Furthermore, the proportion of young men with the disease in the Northern part of the country was 11.72%, whereas in the South, it was 7.77%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PCa is the second most common cancer in young Nigerian men aged&lt; 55\u00a0years preceded by liver cancer. The proportion of young men with PCa was 8.86%. It is therefore important to consider PCa in young men as a different entity and develop appropriate ways to control this disease to ensure survival and good quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10732748231175255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,2]],"date-time":"2023-05-02T21:25:46Z","timestamp":1683062746000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Prevalence of Prostate Cancer Among Young Men Below 55\u00a0Years of Age in Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4830-8365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Atara","family":"Ntekim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayorinde","family":"Folasire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oluwaponmile A.","family":"Odukoya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria"},{"name":"Department of Health Promotion, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10732748231175255","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2022.811044"},{"key":"bibr2-10732748231175255","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jclinpath-2015-202993"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr3-10732748231175255","first-page":"439","volume":"8","author":"Sakr WA","year":"1994","journal-title":"Vivo"},{"key":"bibr4-10732748231175255","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18632\/oncoscience.527"},{"key":"bibr5-10732748231175255","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrurol.2014.91"},{"key":"bibr6-10732748231175255","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14740\/wjon1191"},{"key":"bibr7-10732748231175255","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/560857"},{"key":"bibr8-10732748231175255","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21660"},{"key":"bibr9-10732748231175255","volume-title":"Population -
