Genetic susceptibility to aggressive prostate cancer.
In 2006, f234,460 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and >27,000 deaths will be attributed to the disease (1). There is substantial phenotypic variability among cases and the disease incidence varies by age, race, and family history. In the U.S., f70% of all cases are z65 years at diagnosis, and the median age at diagnosis is 68 years (2). Several types of epidemiologic stu...
متن کاملInherited susceptibility for aggressive prostate cancer.
Whether or not there is inherited basis for prostate cancer aggressiveness is not clear, but advances in DNA analysis should provide an answer to this question in the very near future.
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to lung cancer.
Lung cancer is a highly environmental disease, but cancer researchers have long been interested in investigating genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. This paper is a historical review and provides updated perspectives on lung cancer susceptibility research. The recent introduction of easier genotyping methods and the availability of an almost complete human genome database facilitated the ass...
متن کاملGenetic Susceptibility Loci, Pesticide Exposure and Prostate Cancer Risk
Uncovering SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms)-environment interactions can generate new hypotheses about the function of poorly characterized genetic variants and environmental factors, like pesticides. We evaluated SNP-environment interactions between 30 confirmed prostate cancer susceptibility loci and 45 pesticides and prostate cancer risk in 776 cases and 1,444 controls in the Agricultur...
