Modern vaccinations, fear of germs and obsession with hygiene are depriving the immune
system of the information input upon which it is dependent. This fails to maintain the correct …

This presentation reviews data on the familial component of prostate cancer and evidence to
support a role of genetic susceptibility in this common and complex disease. Data from case …

The vast majority of coding variants are rare, and assessment of the contribution of rare
variants to complex traits is hampered by low statistical power and limited functional data …

ContextPatients with prostate cancer and their physicians need knowledge of treatment
options and their potential complications, but limited data on complications are available in …

BACKGROUND & AIMS:: Genetic variations in proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory
cytokine genes influence individual response to carcinogenic exposures. Polymorphisms in …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and fine-mapping efforts to date have identified
more than 100 prostate cancer (PrCa)-susceptibility loci. We meta-analyzed genotype data …

Background The purpose of this analysis was to compare long-term urinary, bowel, and
sexual function after radical prostatectomy or external-beam radiation therapy. Methods The …

Background: Several risk factors have been identified for esophageal adenocarcinoma,
gastric cardia adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and noncardia …

It is with enormous excitement, last month, that the prostate cancer–mapping community
acknowledges the cloning and characterization, by Tavtigian et al.(2000), of a hereditary …

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in males in developed countries. To
identify common prostate cancer susceptibility alleles, we genotyped 211,155 SNPs on a …
