Modifiable risk factors for prostate cancer in low- and lower-middle-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35790786/
In LIC and LMIC, high fat intake was associated with higher risk of PCa while a diet rich in vegetables and tea intake was associated with a lower risk. Future...
Conclusions: In LIC and LMIC, high fat intake was associated with higher risk of PCa while a diet rich in vegetables and tea intake was associated with a lower risk. Future prospective studies will be important to elucidate whether other modifiable risk factors for PCa specific to LIC and LMIC can be identified to inform impactful and...
Development and validation of a multivariable prognostic model in de novo metastatic castrate sensitive prostate cancer - Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-022-00560-3
Metastatic castrate sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) is a heterogeneous disease state with variable prognosis. Although several life-prolonging systemic agents are available, there is no robust multivariable model to predict prognosis...
Conclusions: A prognostic model for men with de novo mCSPC was developed and validated in an independent testing set. Our model had high accuracy for predicting OS and rPFS. The model includes commonly used clinical and laboratory parameters and can guide risk stratification of these patients for participation in future trials.
Systematic review of the impact of a plant-based diet on prostate cancer incidence and outcomes - Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-022-00553-2
Plant-based diets are increasingly popular and have many well-established benefits for health and environmental sustainability. Our objective was to perform a systematic review of plant-based diets and prostate cancer. We...
Conclusions: Interventional studies showed generally favorable results of lifestyle modifications incorporating a plant-based diet with prostate cancer outcomes as well as improvements in nutrition and general health. Observational studies demonstrated either a lower risk of prostate cancer or no significant difference. These results are...
Renaming Gleason Score 6 Prostate to Noncancer: A Flawed Idea Scientifically and for Patient Care
Source : https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.22.00926
Eggener et al make a sound and rational argument for Gleason pattern 6 cancer being reclassified as something other than cancer. Their argument is largely based on the concept that...
Relevance: Eggener et al1 make a sound and rational argument for Gleason pattern 6 cancer being reclassified as something other than cancer. Their argument is largely based on the concept that Gleason 6 is not going to cause harm and therefore can be safely observed. The problem with this approach is related to the definition of cancer, flaws...
