The title and abstract of the papers were reviewed, and a total of 23 full papers were selected. Results: According to previous studies, the incidence of prostate cancer in Iran is rising with the age increase. However, in comparison with Western countries, this incidence is lower in Iran. One of the most risk factors for prostate cancer is age and positive family history. The most common type of this cancer in Iran is adenocarcinoma. It is reported that the pathological grade has a negative effect on the survival of prostate cancer in Iran. Conclusions: The trend of the incidence of prostate cancer in Iran has risen and the death rate of this malignancy is high among Iranian males with increasing age.
