The investigators aimed to analyze the management of prostate cancer and compare the outcome of patients with such a survey. The investigators collected data of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer from the 2003 and 2008 in central China. Data were disaggregated by rural and urban hukou. The survival rate of patients was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were analyzed using the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model.
