Prostate cancer incidence rates (European age-standardised 
) in England in males are 17% lower in the most deprived quintile compared with the least (2013-2017).[1]
It is estimated that there are around 3,100 fewer cases of prostate cancer each year in England than there would be if every deprivation quintile had the same age-specific crude incidence rates as the least deprived quintile.
