An epidemiological reappraisal of the familial aggregation of prostate cancer: a meta-analysis.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Kiciński Michał, Vangronsveld Jaco, Nawrot Tim S

Abstract excerpt

Studies on familial aggregation of cancer may suggest an overall contribution of inherited genes or a shared environment in the development of malignant disease. We performed a meta-analysis on familial clustering of prostate cancer. Out of 74 studies reporting data on familial aggregation of prostate cancer in unselected populations retrieved by a Pubmed search and browsing references, 33 independent studies...
