Determining the Prostate Cancer Road Map Hypothesis in 49 Countries: From Iron-Deficiency Anemia (IDA) to Death | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

Background: Deaths due to prostate cancer (PCa) in 2016 had in common iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in 2000, according to a follow-up analysis of the San Valentino (Italy) screening of cardiovascular illnesses. Aims: The study compared total mortality for PCa in terms of ASDRs (Age-Standardized-Death Rate x 100000 population) to ASDRs of IDA and diseases that may cause IDA from the year 2000 to ASDRs of IDA and diseases that may cause IDA. Methods: Researchers looked at the relationship between PCa, IDA, and 16 additional variables that could be linked to IDA in 49 nations. The ASDRs (Age-Standardized Death Rate x 100000 population) were used to extract data from WHO records (2018) in 49 countries for the years 2000, 2010, and 2016. WHO assessed the 49 selected countries (SC) to have "excellent completeness and quality of cause-of-death assignment" and "may be used for priority setting and policy evaluation." PCa, IDA, and 16 diseases: TB, gonorrhoea, syphilis, ...

Epidemiology of Prostate Cancer in Saudi Arabia | Chapter 3 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 14

Problem identification: Prostate cancer has become more common around the world in recent years as understanding and tools for early detection of cancer have improved. Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer in the Middle East, and it is the sixth highest cause of death among men. The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of genetics and environmental variables in the development and progression of prostate cancer in Middle Eastern countries, with a particular focus on the prevalence and mortality of prostate cancer in Saudi Arabia. The study will also look into potential risk factors for the development of prostate cancer in Migrants. Literature search: An extensive literature search was conducted to locate papers and research on the prevalence of prostate cancer in Saudi Arabia, as well as possible reasons for its rising prevalence over time. The literature search also includes studies on the known and suspected risk factors that contribute to the developme...

Correlation of GSTP1 Polymorphism with Severity of Prostate Cancer in an Eastern Indian Population | Chapter 13 | Emerging Research in Medical Sciences Vol. 1

Background: GSTP1 is one of the Glutathione-S-Transferases (GSTs) which suppress tumor genesis by detoxifying toxic carcinogens and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Prostate cancer is related to several mutations affecting the expression of GSTP1. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP: Ile105Val) in the GSTP1 gene results insignificant reduction in its anticancer activity. The current case control study was conducted to ascertain the risk of association of GSTP1polymorphism with risk of cancer prostate in an Eastern Indian population. Materials and Methods: During a study period of 2 years, DNA was isolated using the phenol chloroform extraction method from the blood of 225 histopathologically diagnosed prostate cancer patients and 120 matched controls. The GSTP1 polymorphism was assessed by PCR amplification of the gene followed by restriction digestion with Alw261 (a restriction enzyme derived from Acinetobactro lwoffi RFL26). Histopathological grading in the case group was ...
