Prostate Cancer

Nelson, William G., De Marzo, Angelo M., Isaacs, William B.·2003·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

This review article discusses the ways in which the environment, diet, and genes contribute to the development of prostate cancer. Some dietary components increase the risk of prostate cancer, whereas other seem to be protective. Studies of familial prostate cancer are beginning to reveal genes that may have a role in the disease, but population studies have not yet pinpointed a major genetic factor. Prostatitis may have an important role in initiating the pathway to prostate cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
