Condition: Epidemiology · Prostate Cancer · Sponsor: CHU de Quebec-Universite Laval
The risk of prostate cancer is associated with lifestyle habits, such as diet and physical activity. Indeed, results of numerous studies suggest links between obesity, diabetes, inflammation and androgen and estrogen metabolism in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer. The goal of BIOCaPPE study (Biomarkers and Prostate Cancer/ Prevention and Environment) is to identify biomarkers of prostate cancer risk that are potentially modifiable by environmental exposures (e.g. diet and physical activity). A selection of few of the most promising biological markers will be evaluated in a cohort of more than 2000 men at high-risk of prostate cancer. Such biomarkers would provide a practical approach to identify men at high risk of prostate cancer who could benefit from interventions aiming at reducing their risk. The biomarkers would also be useful to monitor the efficacy of the interventions on patient's lifestyle.
