Genetically Predicted Circulating Level of C-Reactive Protein Is Not Associated With Prostate Cancer Risk

Abstract excerpt

Background: Inconsistent findings from observational studies have reported that C-reactive protein (CRP) is likely associated with risk of prostate cancer. Because conventional observational studies are susceptible to confounding and reverse causality, it remains unclear whether there is a causal relationship of CRP with risk of prostate cancer.
