Abstract

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1155/2014/419801.].

Highlights

It has been brought to our attention that there was an error in Table 4 in “Prostate Cancer in South Africa: Pathology Based National Cancer Registry Data (1986–2006) and Mortality Rates (1997–2009).”
White men represent a higher proportion of cases in the NCR (49%) but a smaller proportion of deaths from CaP (30% versus 49%, resp.); this was compared to black men who represent 37% of CaP yet 54% of the deaths from CaP
The number of cases reported for prostate cancer death in the coloured and white population groups were accidently switched in the data supplied
