  • Genetic predisposition to prostate cancer: possible explanations for ethnic differences in risk.

    Shibata A, Whittemore AS. Prostate. 1997; 32 (1): 65-72

    It seems unlikely that the large ethnic differences in prostate cancer risk can be explained completely by ethnic differences in diet or other lifestyle characteristics. Instead, the differences may be due to ethnic variation in endogenous factors, such as androgen metabolism or inherited susceptibility.
