- Study assessed 15-year trends in 5-year net survival for prostate cancer in Japan (2000-2014).
- Data from 16 Japanese regional population-based cancer registries (CONCORD-3 study) was analyzed.
- Patients were grouped by age, morphology (ICD-O-3 classification), and stage at diagnosis.
- 5-year net survival improved from 85.9% (2000-2004) to 93.0% (2010-2014).
- Higher survival rates (>90%) observed for epithelial tumors, localized, and regional disease.
- Poor survival (47.3%) for distant metastasis cases during 2010-2014.
- Improvement attributed to increased detection of localized disease and epithelial tumors.
- Comprehensive long-term analysis needed to investigate factors behind survival trends.
