The purpose of this case-control study is to investigate the association between genetic and encocrine markers of estrogen metabolism and prostate cancer progression. Androgens (e.g., testerone) may be critical in prostate cancercinogenesis, but there is accumulating evidence that estrogens facilitate progress during the later stages of prostate cancer formation (1-4). To explore the role of estrogens in human prostate carcinogenesis, we proposed to investigate the association between genetic and endocrine ...
