Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of
cancer death among men in the developed world. Better understanding of factors
that modify the risk of prostate cancer and its preventive measures that include
pharmacological intervention will help us reduce the burden of this disease. At the
same time, a combination of early detection and better discrimination between
aggressive and indolent prostate cancer may help reduce treatment-related
morbidity and mortality due to prostate cancer.
