12 new susceptibility loci for prostate cancer identified by genome-wide association study in Japanese population.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-09-27)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~170 genetic loci associated with prostate cancer (PCa) risk, but most of them were identified in European populations. We here performed a GWAS and replication study ...
Investigating the possible causal role of coffee consumption with prostate cancer risk and progression using Mendelian randomization analysis.
(WILEY, 2017-01-15)
Coffee consumption has been shown in some studies to be associated with lower risk of prostate cancer. However, it is unclear if this association is causal or due to confounding or reverse causality. We conducted a Mendelian ...
Association between Adult Height and Risk of Colorectal, Lung, and Prostate Cancer: Results from Meta-analyses of Prospective Studies and Mendelian Randomization Analyses.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-09-06)
BACKGROUND: Observational studies examining associations between adult height and risk of colorectal, prostate, and lung cancers have generated mixed results. We conducted meta-analyses using data from prospective cohort ...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids and prostate cancer risk: a Mendelian randomisation analysis from the PRACTICAL consortium.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2016-08-23)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a common cancer worldwide with no established modifiable lifestyle factors to guide prevention. The associations between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and prostate cancer risk have been ...
Psychosocial impact of undergoing prostate cancer screening for men with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
(WILEY, 2019-02-01)
OBJECTIVES: To report the baseline results of a longitudinal psychosocial study that forms part of the IMPACT study, a multi-national investigation of targeted prostate cancer (PCa) screening among men with a known pathogenic ...
An integrative multi-omics analysis to identify candidate DNA methylation biomarkers related to prostate cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-08-06)
It remains elusive whether some of the associations identified in genome-wide association studies of prostate cancer (PrCa) may be due to regulatory effects of genetic variants on CpG sites, which may further influence ...
Relationship of self-reported body size and shape with risk for prostate cancer: A UK case-control study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2020-09-17)
INTRODUCTION: Previous evidence has suggested a relationship between male self-reported body size and the risk of developing prostate cancer. In this UK-wide case-control study, we have explored the possible association ...
Intensity-modulated fractionated radiotherapy versus stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PACE-B): acute toxicity findings from an international, randomised, open-label, phase 3, non-inferiority trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-09-17)
BACKGROUND: Localised prostate cancer is commonly treated with external-beam radiotherapy. Moderate hypofractionation has been shown to be non-inferior to conventional fractionation. Ultra-hypofractionated stereotactic ...
Germline variation at 8q24 and prostate cancer risk in men of European ancestry.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-11-05)
Chromosome 8q24 is a susceptibility locus for multiple cancers, including prostate cancer. Here we combine genetic data across the 8q24 susceptibility region from 71,535 prostate cancer cases and 52,935 controls of European ...
Homeobox B13 G84E Mutation and Prostate Cancer Risk.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-05-01)
BACKGROUND: The homeobox B13 (HOXB13) G84E mutation has been recommended for use in genetic counselling for prostate cancer (PCa), but the magnitude of PCa risk conferred by this mutation is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To obtain ...
