abstract: BACKGROUND
  Prostate cancer is an important epidemiological problem in Podkarpackie province. A significant rise in the number of new cases was reported. The values of crude and standardized rates, percentage share and cumulative risk also increased.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  This article aims at analyzing incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer in 2002-2011.
  
  
  METHODS
  Analysis was based on data retrieved from the Podkarpackie Cancer Registry in Rzeszów. A total of 4 263 prostate cancer cases and 2 032 fatal cases were analyzed from the list of orderly arranged patients. Crude and standardized rates of incidence and mortality, cumulative risk and percentage share of prostate cancer out of all cancers were calculated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared to 2002, the number of cases increased by 150.5% in 2011. Cumulative risk rose from 1.8% in 2002 to 4.7% in 2011. Percentage of prostate cancer cases out of all registered cancers increased more than twofold in the analyzed decade. There was a 22.3% increase in the number of fatal cases due to prostate cancer, accompanied by a slight decrease of standardized mortality rate from 13.2/100 000 in 2002 to 12.6/100 000 in 2011. In the analyzed period, 41.8% of patients were diagnosed with locally adavanced prostate cancer.
