223: Prostate-Specific Antigen Levels in Relation to Cadmium Exposure and Zinc Intake: Results from the 2001-2002 National Health and Examination Nutrition Survey

Year: 2007

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: increased risk for aggressive disease (OR=1.74, 95% Cl 1.09-2.78, p=0.02).CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that variation in CPA4 confers increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer among younger patients.Further work is needed to identify the functional aspects of this variation and understand its biological effects on prostate cancer.The identification of genetic risk factors may translate into more precise screening of higher risk individuals as well as guiding clinicians and patients toward earlier and more aggressive treatment modalities in patients genetically identified as higher risk.
