  1. Frequency distribution of first-line therapy among 4275 patients who have a diagnosis of prostate cancer and received one of the listed focus drugs during the study period, stratified by year. Column percents and 95% confidence intervals (in parentheses) are also provided. Of note, data from 2010 to 2014 include the entire year, but data from 2015 is for only six months, January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015
