Abstract

Despite the generally lower burden of cancer experienced among LDS than non-LDS residents, prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates tend to be higher in Utah than the rest of the country.1 Reasons for this difference are unknown but may be related to differences in diet, screening, and/or treatment.
