Genetic Clues Link Lipoprotein A to Prostate Cancer Risk

Some factors associated with higher risk of prostate cancer (PCa) cannot be modified, such as older age and being of African descent. Meanwhile, other risk factors for the aggressive form of the disease, such as smoking and obesity, can potentially be modified. More...
