The value of cancer registry data in epidemiological studies concerned with cancer is dependent upon the reliability and comparability of the data used. If these data are to be analyzed it is necessary for the material to have been processed with reference to uniform classification and coding ...
Increasing age is a risk factor for developing cancer. Yet, older people commonly underestimate this risk, are less likely to be aware of the early symptoms, and are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. Mass media are a key influence on the public’s understanding health i...

based on many factors. For example, anything that makes your prostate cells grow faster and divide more may up the chances of getting acquired mutations related to prostate cancer. Scientists think this is one way hormones such as testosterone may affect your odds of getting prostate cancer. ...
Epidemiologic studies over the past several decades have identified several dietary risk factors for prostate cancer incidence, and emerging data suggest that diet may also play a role after diagnosis. This chapter will summarize and integrate the findings of recent meta-analyses and current literature...

De Marzo et al15,16 introduced the term 'proliferative inflammatory atrophy' for such lesions and suggested that they may be precursors to HGPIN and cancer. This nomenclature implies that inflammation is www.modernpathology.org 1024 Cancer risk factors in the benign prostate ON Kryvenko et al ...
We begin by arguing that the often used algorithm for the discovery and use of disease risk factors, stepwise logistic regression, is unstable. We then argue that there are other algorithms available that are much more stable and reliable (e.g. the lasso
Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States. In 2009, approximately 192,280 men were diagnosed with—and 27,360 men died from—this disease. Moreover,...
