Book excerpt: This is the Final Report for this project. It provides new updated information since the last report, which was submitted in June 2004, and provides an overall summary of progress, and remaining steps required to meet the study objectives. Although those objectives were not completed during the funding period, they will be completed using other funding sources. The objective of this case-control study is to determine whether oxidative damage is a risk factor for prostate cancer, and whether this mechanism mediates the association between dietary fat and prostate cancer risk. Specifically, cases and controls will be compared with respect to malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum as a measure of oxidative stress, and deoxyguanosine malondialdehyde (dG-MDA) in peripheral lymphocytes and prostate tumor samples as a measure of oxidative DNA damage. In addition to these measures, dietary intake of fats and specific fatty acids, and of antioxidants will be considered as potential effect modifiers or confounding factors, as will serum antioxidant levels. Enrollment of cases and controls, collection of questionnaire data, and collection of serum, plasma and lymphocytes has been completed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge about cancer genetics is rapidly expanding, and has implications for all aspects of cancer research and treatment, including molecular causation, diagnosis, prevention, screening, and treatment. Additionally, while cancer genetics has traditionally focused on mutational events that have their primary effect within the cancer cell, recently the focus has widened, with evidence of the importance of epigenetic events and of cellular interactions in cancer development. The role of common genetic variation in determining the range of individual susceptibility within the population is increasingly recognized, and is now being widely addressed using information from the Human Genome Project. These new research directions will highlight determinants of cancer that lie outside the cancer cell, suggest new targets for intervention, and inform the design of strategies for prevention in groups at increased risk. Today, the NCI is putting more and more money into research into the genetics of cancer. The very first of the NCI’s stated research priorities is a project called The Cancer Genome Atlas. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a comprehensive and coordinated effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing. The NCI and the NHGRI (National Human Genome Research Institute, where the series editor is employed) have each committed $50 million over three years to the TCGA Pilot Project. This book proposes cover the latest findings in the genetics of male reproductive cancers; specifically cancers of the prostate and testes. The volume will cover the epidemiology of these cancers; model systems, pathology, molecular genetics, and inherited susceptibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book integrates the disciplines of cancer pathology and epidemiology to provide a synergistic and complementary approach to understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer. This book provides relevant information on the diagnostic, prognostic and predictive molecular pathology of cancer. Epidemiological studies, including descriptive epidemiology, risk factors and molecular mechanisms of disease inform on the etiology and progression of cancer. The text concentrates on major cancers that are currently prevalent and those for which substantial molecular, pathological and epidemiological data is available. Each section is designed to provide an overview of that cancer type in terms of basic biology, review the current epidemiological data surrounding that cancer type and provide information on common practices and challenges related to the molecular pathology of that cancer type. Several relevant techniques in molecular pathology, which facilitate diagnosis and treatment are also explored. Pathology and Epidemiology of Cancer provides a succinct and comprehensive overview of multiple cancer types to guide clinicians during patient care and to guide scientists for innovations in research. It represents an integral resource for pathologists, epidemiologists, medical students as well as translational, basic and clinical science researchers who are all working to progress the field of cancer in terms of diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide a contemporary overview of the causes and consequences of prostate cancer from a cellular and genetic perspective. Written by experts in the fields of epidemiology, toxicology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, cell-cell interactions, cell signaling, hormone signaling, and transcriptional regulation, the text covers aspects of prostate cancer from disease initiation to metastasis. Chapters explore in depth the cells of origin for prostate cancer, its genomic subtypes, neural transcription factors in disease progression, epigenetic regulation of chromatin, and many other topics. This book distinguishes itself from other texts on prostate cancer by its focus on cellular and genetic mechanisms, as opposed to clinical diagnosis and management. As a result, this book will be of broad interest to basic and translational scientists with familiarity of these topics, as well as to trainees at earlier stages of their research careers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the World Health Organization's 2008 GLOBOCAN report, 64% of global cancer deaths — and 56% of cancer cases — were registered in countries in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. So while cancer is unquestionably a global burden, its reach in the developing world points to the need for specialized study on cancer in these countries. Cancer Epidemiology: Low- and Middle-Income Countries and Special Populations reviews the current status of cancer epidemiologic research and training — rationale, requisite infrastructure, methodologic principles, and illustrative examples in low- and middle-income countries — in order to facilitate future advances by trained health professionals. The result is a valuable resource for both program leaders and graduate and post-graduate students pursuing careers in international cancer epidemiologic research.

Book excerpt: Prostate cancer results from complex interactions among genetic, endocrine, and environmental factors. Understanding genetic risk factors that contribute to the occurrence of prostate cancer is crucial to design both preventative and therapeutic strategies and to identify at-risk individuals. Plausible candidates for susceptibility genes for prostate cancer risk include genes involved in insulin-like growth factor signaling, androgen signaling, and in immune response. We hypothesized that genetic variation in genes in these pathways was associated with prostate cancer risk. We studied 199 incident prostate cancer cases and 263 age-matched controls. Genotyping was performed for 59 polymorphisms in 18 genes and statistical analyses performed to look at their associations with prostate cancer risk and aggressiveness. As previously reported, the IRS1 G972R GR/RR genotypes (rs1801278) were associated with a significant 2.7-fold increased risk for prostate cancer (95% CI 1.5-4.9, p=0.0007). Other significant results were SNP rs2139924 in IGF1R with a 2.6-fold increased risk (95% CI 1.1-6.5) and rs361072 in PI3KCB with a 1.6 fold increased risk (95% CI 1.03-1.66). These results support a role of the insulin-like growth factor pathway in the etiology of prostate cancer. These results need to be replicated in multiple, larger studies.
