Prostate cancer polygenic risk score and prediction of lethal prostate cancer

Robert J. Klein et al.

Summary: Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for prostate cancer incidence were evaluated and compared to PSA and a commercialized model in predicting lethal prostate cancer. The study found that PRS was associated with incident prostate cancer, but was not a stronger predictor of lethal disease compared to PSA. The combination of PRS and PSA did not contribute additional risk stratification for lethal prostate cancer.

Genome-wide association study identifies a role for the progesterone receptor in benign prostatic hyperplasia risk

Weiqiang Li et al.

Summary: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) on BPH identified 35 significant variants in a discovery cohort and validated 4 significant variants, including one related to the PGR gene, in a validation cohort. The study suggests that genetic variants identified from BPH GWAS can be used to identify pharmacologic targets for BPH treatment.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Performance of Three Inherited Risk Measures for Predicting Prostate Cancer Incidence and Mortality: A Population-based Prospective Analysis

Polygenic hazard score is associated with prostate cancer in multi-ethnic populations

Minh-Phuong Huynh-Le et al.

Summary: The study found that a polygenic hazard score can risk-stratify men for prostate cancer in a multi-ethnic dataset, with significant and effective associations observed across different genetic ancestries.

Combined Effect of a Polygenic Risk Score and Rare Genetic Variants on Prostate Cancer Risk

Burcu F. Darst et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the risk of prostate cancer from rare variants could vary based on an individual's genetic profile of common risk variants. Therefore, to comprehensively assess genetic risk of prostate cancer, it is crucial to consider both rare and common variants.

Observed evidence for guideline-recommended genes in predicting prostate cancer risk from a large population-based cohort

Jun Wei et al.

Summary: In this large population-based study, evidence for PCa risk was found for four of the 10 guideline-recommended genes: HOXB13, BRCA2, ATM, and CHEK2. Mutations in these four genes can be confidently used in genetic counseling for PCa risk assessment, while further evaluation is needed for the remaining six genes in larger studies.
