ABSTRACT

An estimated 1.6 million men receive a prostate cancer diagnosis and 366,000 pass away from the disease each year, making it one of the leading causes of illness and death among men. In this review, we go over the current level of evidence supporting particular dietary, lifestyle, and genetic factors linked to risk of prostate cancer. We concentrate on risk factors because of the molecular heterogeneity of this malignancy. For prostate cancer that is deadly or advanced. Initially, we offer descriptive epidemiological data and global trends in the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer. This includes talking about how prostate-specific antigen screening affects the epidemiology of prostate cancer. Additionally we provide an overview of the data supporting a few risk variables for which there is substantial or likely evidence of a correlation: genetics, physical activity, smoking, lycopene and tomatoes, fish, vitamin D and calcium, obesity and weight change, and statins. Lastly, we point out future avenues for the study of prostate cancer epidemiology.
