Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Epidemiology Forecast

Key Highlights

• Among the two types of Prostate cancer (mCSPC and mCRPC), mCRPC was more prevalent in 2024 in the 7MM.
• The number of people in Japan diagnosed with prostate cancer has sharply increased, rising by 1.8 times over the last 10 years. Although more people are being diagnosed with cancer due to the aging of the population, among other reasons, prostate cancer in particular is surging at a rapid pace.
• Prostate cancer is most frequently diagnosed among men aged 65–74 years; the median age at diagnosis is 66 years.
• As per the secondary analysis, roughly 60% of patients present with localized or locally advanced cases (Stage I–III), 30% experience biochemical recurrence or progression, and the remaining are metastatic cases.
• Due to the inherent limitations of PSA, there is a growing need for additional diagnostic and prognostic tools to enhance early detection and enable more accurate risk stratification.
• The emergence of PSMA-PET imaging have significantly improved the diagnostic landscape of advanced prostate cancer.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Understanding

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Overview

Prostate cancer is a type of malignancy that occurs in the prostate gland. This cancer usually grows slowly and is confined to the prostate gland initially, where it may not cause serious harm. It is common in men of 50–64 years and over age 65; however, it can occur in men younger than 50 years. Symptoms of adenocarcinoma of the prostate include blood in the semen, frequent urge to urinate, and painful urination and ejaculation. The symptoms of prostate cancer do not usually appear until the prostate is large enough to affect the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Diagnosing prostate cancer involves various methods, including analyzing PSA levels in the blood, conducting a digital rectal exam to feel for abnormalities, performing a biopsy to examine tissue samples, utilizing genetic testing to identify potential risk factors, conducting imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI to visualize the prostate, and occasionally conducting a bone scan to check for metastasis. These tests are typically used together to comprehensively assess prostate health and detect any signs of cancer.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Epidemiology

The epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Prevalent cases of Prostate cancer, Five–year Prevalent cases of Prostate cancer, Age-specific cases of Prostate cancer, Total cases of Prostate cancer by clinical stages, Total Prevalent cases of mCRPC in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

• In 2024, the 7MM had approximately 7 million prevalent cases of prostate cancer. These are expected to rise due to the growing geriatric population and advancements in diagnostic capabilities during the forecast period (2025-2034).
• The five-year prevalent cases of prostate cancer in the US was approximately 1,100,000 in 2024.
• Among the EU4 and the UK, Germany accounted for the highest number of metastatic CRPC cases while, Spain had the lowest cases, in 2024.
• As per the analysis, in the United States, approximately 40% of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in individuals aged 65-74 years, representing the most common age group for this disease.
• The total cases of mCRPC in the US comprised approximately 52,000 in 2024 and are projected to increase during the forecast period.
