Polymorphisms in Genes Involved in Androgen Pathways as Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer

24 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Prostate cancer is epidemic in Western society and androgens are known to mediate key physiological processes in prostate tissue. Therefore, endogenous androgens have long been considered risk factors for prostate cancer. We reviewed the association of androgen pathway genes and their polymorphic sites, and the risk of prostate cancer in individuals of different ethnic backgrounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
