- Abstract
The article presents retrospective survival analysis in prostate cancer in New South Wales from January 1982 to December 2007. The study shows that the increasing survival trends were found across categories of socioeconomic status and geographic remoteness. It reveals that urban-rural differentials were important after adjusting for five significant prognostic factors with men who live outside major cities with higher death risk from prostate cancer.
