Abstract
Cancer of the prostate is now the commonest malignancy in the male in Uganda1 while Kaposi’s sarcoma was
the commonest in the 1990’s2. The incidence rate is 39.2:100,000 males in Kyaddondo County and it has been
rising in Uganda since 19603. It is a challenging tumour to treat with most of the patients presenting with
metastatic disease. Members of the Uganda cancer working group (Appendix I) compiled the currently
accepted, most appropriate approach to the management of prostate cancer which was deemed available and
accessible. All recommendations were category 2 A unless otherwise stated (Appendix II).
