Urinary phytoestrogen and prostate-specific antigen levels in US men.

      Аннотация: Prostate cancer reigns as one of the top 3 most common cancers and one of the deadliest cancers among American men, coming behind only lung cancer as the group’s second leading cause of cancer mortality. No demographic has borne the weight of the disease more than the African-American male demographic and 65 and older male demographic. Prior knowledge and ongoing research strongly suggests that this disparity can largely be attributed to the types and degrees of activities, consumption, and exposures that are associated with the numerous affected demographics within the US. In the literature, diet’s association with prostate cancer is analyzed, specifically the possibility of a correlation between phytoestrogenic (predominately found in soy-based products) intake and prostate cancer risk, with the effects of race, smoking, socioeconomic status, and other dietary factors taken into account in the analysis.
