  5. 8. Dietary and genetic factors in the etiology of prostate cancer

    Author : Maria Hedelin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Epidemiology; prostate cancer; phytoestrogens; marine fatty acids; alcohol; polymorphism; SNP; estrogen receptor-beta; COX-2; gene-environmental interaction;

    Abstract : The etiology of prostate cancer is poorly understood. However, genetic factors may be more important than for many other malignancies. In addition, several studies suggest that dietary factors axe of etiologic importance. In particular, dietary intake of phytoestrogens or marine fatty adds from fish may protect against prostate cancer development. READ MORE
