The increase in prostate cancer diagnoses in 1990 can largely be attributed to the widespread adoption of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, which became more common around that time. This screening led to the detection of previously undiagnosed cases, particularly in men who may not have exhibited symptoms. Additionally, increased awareness and education about prostate cancer likely contributed to more men seeking medical evaluations.
