“…Unfortunately, once PCa has spread to the lymph nodes and bones, the outlook is poor. The 5-year survival rate for metastatic cancer is one-third of that for localized disease [3]. Statistically, 25% of men with PCa worldwide develop metastatic disease and the 5-year survival of patients with metastasis to a distant site is significantly reduced to 29% [4, 5].…”

“…PCa was initially considered a cancer of the elderly, but PCa incidence in patients below age 55 is currently increasing by more than 10% in the United States [2]. Although the 5-year survival rate of localized PCa is > 99%, the outlook is relatively poor once PCa advances [3,4]. Half of the men with castration-resistant PCa (CRPC) developed bone metastasis within two years of CRPC diagnosis [5].…”

“…Age, family history, and race are the most consistently observed risk factors associated with prostate cancer. Especially age and inherited factors are estimated to be responsible for 5% to 9% percentage of this disease2. Recently, molecular biological and epidemiological studies results suggest that the pathogenesis of prostate cancer may be associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among several genes34.…”
