New findings reshape understanding of prostate cancer risk
The American Cancer Society reports lifetime testosterone exposure links to higher prostate cancer risk. Diets high in animal fat raise risk of aggressive cancer, while cooked tomato products lower it. Early detection is feasible in at risk men. PSA confirmed by DRE or TRUS yields highest positive predictive value. DNA abnormalities led to a key prostate cancer gene. PSA testing advances remain central to detection and management. Current studies probe links to family history smoking and diet with fatal outcomes. Currant smokers show higher death risk than nonsmokers.
