The complex genetic epidemiology of prostate cancer.

Human molecular genetics - 1 Apr 2004

Schaid Daniel J

Abstract excerpt

Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer among men in most developed countries, yet little is known about its causes. Older age, African ancestry and a positive family history of prostate cancer have long been recognized as important risk factors. The evidence that genetics probably plays a critical role is based on a variety of study designs, including case-control, cohort, twin and family-based, all of which...
