Risk factors for prostate cancer: A multi-factorial case control study

Prostate cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among Pakistani men. It is a multi-factorial disease involving genetics together with environmental factors. Countries where men have greater dietary fat intake showed increased prostate cancer mortality rates. A population based case control study was conducted to evaluate various prostate cancer risk factors. Study subjects were 896 prostate cancer cases (2010 –2015) and 900 age matched controls. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the association between different risk factors and prostate cancer.
