The role of the BRCA2 gene in susceptibility to prostate cancer revisited.

Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology - 1 Aug 2008

Ostrander Elaine A, Udler Miriam S

Abstract excerpt

Prostate cancer is a genetically complex disease with multiple predisposing factors affecting presentation, progression, and outcome. Epidemiologic studies have long shown an aggregation of breast and prostate cancer in some families. More recently, studies have reported an apparent excess of pro...
