By Isaac Amoah, Hannah Ayettey Anie, Daniel Tetteh and 3 others.
Abstract
Background
In Ghana, prostate cancer (PCa) was the second most frequently diagnosed cancer among men in 2022, after liver cancer. Despite increasing research interest, evidence needed to guide PCa research priorities remains fragmented. This scoping review aimed to highlight research priorities and direction on PCa in Ghana by identifying thematic areas, gaps and potential areas for future research.
Methods
The scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist (PRISMA-ScR). A systematic search for relevant articles was conducted on four prominent databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ScienceDirect.
