The cause of prostate cancer, however, remains largely unknown. The identification of risk factors for this cancer is therefore based on the evaluation of populations recognized through epidemiological studies as being at a unique risk level. Such studies have produced certain demographic, dietary, ...
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 ...
In this new large British prospective study, we identified associations with already-established, putative and possible novel risk factors for being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Future research will examine associations by tumour characteristics. 展开 关键词: risk factors prostate cancer cohort study ...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is, after lung cancer, the second most common cancer among men worldwide. The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing in all countries, especially in western countries1, on the one hand, due to the population aging and increased exposure to environmental risk factors, ...
Asia Epidemiology Prostate cancer Risk factors 1. Introduction Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most prevalent cancer in men worldwide 1. However, large variations in incidence rates exist between geographical regions, with a 25-fold difference between countries with the highest and lowest incidenc...
New research suggests that age, race and family history are the biggest risk factors for a man to develop prostate cancer, although high blood pressure, high cholesterol, vitamin D deficiency, inflammation of prostate, and vasectomy also add to the risk. In contrast, obesity, alcohol abuse, ...
Materials and methods Extreme-risk prostate cancer patients were defined as patients with at least one extreme-risk factor: stage cT3b–cT4, Gleason score 9–10 or PSA > 50 ng/ml; or patients with 2 or more high-risk factors: stage cT2c–cT3a, Gleason 8 and PSA > 20 ng/ml. ...
Possible risk factors include: Age The risk of prostate cancer increases with age, and roughly 60% of cases are diagnosed after the age of 65.3It is uncommon before the age of 40. When seen in younger people, prostate cancer is often associated with a family history of the disease in rela...
