20243 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

Taking a biopsy after 4 months of initial symptoms was partially responsible for the delay in diagnosis. Communities should be educated about prostate cancer symptoms and advised to seek health care early. Health care workers should be sensitized to suspect prostate cancer among patients to allow timely referral.
