Obese Men Have More Advanced and Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Obese Men Have More Advanced and Aggressive Prostate Cancer
After controlling for PSA level and age, obese men are more likely to present with pathologically advanced and more aggressive PCa compared with non-obese men. If our observations are confirmed in independent populations, this would further support the need to re-evaluate PSA-based screening practices for obese men.
