Does the age you are obese matter?
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of death from prostate cancer, but the underlying causes are poorly understood
Do vegetarian diets lower cancer risk?
This research found that vegetarians had a reduced risk of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract
Fat tissue and advanced prostate cancer risk
The aim of this project is to examine the amount of fat surrounding the prostate as a risk factor for aggressive prostate cancer.
