Prevalence, Treatment Modalities and Prognosis of Familial Prostate Cancer in a Screened Population

Abstract: Although screened men 55 to 75 years old with a father or a brother having prostate cancer themselves are at a substantially greater risk for the disease, the clinical presentation, treatment modalities and prognosis by biochemical progression are not different compared to sporadic cases.

“…A risk ratio of 1.8 for first-degree relatives found in our sample was higher than the RR of 1.53 found by Roemeling et al (2006) but lower than reported in the meta-analysis by Noe et al (2008; RR range between 2.2 and 2.5; refs. 49, 50). This could be explained by the smaller number of participants in our study as compared with the meta-analysis and/or because we did not stratify the analysis by ethnicity.…”

“…The etiology of PC is largely unknown, although several risk factors such as ethnicity, family history, and age are associated with the disease (2,3). In addition, several dietary constituents have been linked to PC risk and prevention (4,5).…”

“…The causes of familial and sporadic cancers may differ and many studies have examined the possible differences in survival, however, overall with inconclusive results. For the commonest cancers, such as prostate and breast cancers, recent evidence has suggested no survival difference between the sporadic and familial diseases [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. A similar survival experience was noted for familial and sporadic cancers for most of the cancer sites examined.…”

“…Many other studies have been done to examine the survival difference between familial and sporadic cancers, such as breast and prostate cancers [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, the results were inconsistent at present, and study design limitations, such as such as small sample size, biased selection of study subjects and poor selection of controls, could be related to the inconsistent data.…”
