The United States, Canada, countries of Western Europe, and Australia specifically Sweden but excluding Italy and Greece, are the countries with the highest incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates of prostate cancer in the world. These countries are considered high-risk countries. Countries in Asia, particularly Japan, are considered low-risk countries. Researchers attribute prostate cancer risk based on location to three factors: UV light, testing prevalence, and traditional diet.
