“…Heavy smokers had an increased risk of dying from prostate cancer, which is consistent with findings from previous US studies (Hsing et al , 1990; Hsing et al , 1991; Coughlin et al , 1996; Rodriguez et al , 1997; Giovannucci et al , 1999; Giovannucci et al , 2007; Rohrmann et al , 2007; Batty et al , 2008; Watters et al , 2009; Weinmann et al , 2010). Zu and Giovannucci (2009) concluded that, compared with never smokers, current smoking is associated with an increased risk of about 30% for fatal prostate cancer; depending on the comparison, the increase in risk ranges from 14% to 30% in the meta-analysis of Huncharek et al , (2010).…”

Background:Smoking is not associated with prostate cancer incidence in most studies, but associations between smoking and fatal prostate cancer have been reported.Methods:During 1992 and 2000, lifestyle information was assessed via questionnaires and personal interview in a cohort of 145 112 European men. Until 2009, 4623 incident cases of prostate cancer were identified, including 1517 cases of low-grade, 396 cases of high grade, 1516 cases of localised, 808 cases of advanced disease, and 432 fatal cases. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to examine the association of smoking status, smoking intensity, and smoking duration with the risk of incident and fatal prostate cancer.Results:Compared with never smokers, current smokers had a reduced risk of prostate cancer (RR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.83–0.97), which was statistically significant for localised and low-grade disease, but not for advanced or high-grade disease. In contrast, heavy smokers (25+ cigarettes per day) and men who had smoked for a long time (40+ years) had a higher risk of prostate cancer death (RR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.11–2.93; RR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.01–1.87, respectively).Conclusion:The observation of an increased prostate cancer mortality among heavy smokers confirms the results of previous prospective studies.

“…In analyses limited to aggressive prostate cancer, some evidence of a null association was seen (OR=1.03), although small sample sizes rendered this estimate unreliable. Null associations were also found in studies investigating advanced stage (T 3b or worse; OR=0.81; 95% CI: 0.50-1.30; 29 ) and fatal prostate cancer (OR=1.0; 95% CI: 0.79-1.4 14 ). No appreciable differences were observed in the overall pooled estimate when we excluded studies that either enriched 31,32 or depleted 13,15,16,18,20,[33][34][35] their control populations of prostate conditions (e.g., BPH, high PSA, all benign prostate conditions).…”

“…When multiple articles from the same study population were found, the most recent or complete publication was included. One exception was two studies performed among health plan members at Kaiser Permanente 13,14 . Although these studies overlapped by some years of enrollment, we retained both studies because of their likely minimal overlap in study participants as Weinmann et.…”

Background: Previous meta-analyses have estimated summary positive associations between clinical prostatitis and prostate cancer. However, none have accounted for detection bias, the possibility for increased prostate cancer screening and detection in men with clinical prostatitis, in their pooled estimates. Methods: We searched for studies that investigated the relation between clinical prostatitis and prostate cancer through November 2018. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to calculate summary odds ratios (ORs) among all studies and in strata defined by methods used to reduce detection bias. Results: Although an increased odds of prostate cancer was seen among men with a history of clinical prostatitis in all 38 eligible studies combined (OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.64-2.57), this estimate attenuated to null among studies that performed the most rigorous analyses to limit detection bias (OR=1.16, 95% CI: 0.77-1.74). Conclusions: Our findings indicate that previously reported positive associations between clinical prostatitis and prostate cancer are likely due to detection bias. Impact: Studies using rigorous detection bias methods are warranted to replicate these findings, as well as to examine the possible relation between prostate inflammation and prostate cancer

“…Exclusion of Hosseini 2010 from meta-analysis decreased the I 2 value to 81% ('substantial' heterogeneity). The Weinmann 2010 study differed from all other thirteen studies, as it included only lethal prostate cancer cases (19). However, tentative exclusion of this study from the meta-analysis did not modify the I 2 value (I 2 = 91%).…”

Medical history, body size, and cigarette smoking in relation to fatal prostate cancer

Abstract: The observed increase in risk associated with recent cigarette smoking is consistent with the findings of several other studies. However, in contrast with some reports, we observed no connection between fatal prostate cancer and some prior health conditions or measures of body size.
