Inflammation, infection, and prostate cancer.

Current opinion in urology - 1 May 2008

Klein Eric A, Silverman Robert

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recent evidence suggesting that inflammation and infection play a role in the etiology of prostate cancer, and the discovery of a novel virus in men with a genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer is reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS: Almost 20% of visceral cancers worldwide have proven infectious causes. There is substantial histologic, molecular genetic, and epidemiologic evidence that infections...
