Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the connection between anogenital distance (AGD), a marker of prenatal androgen exposure, and the severity and prognosis of prostate cancer in 119 patients.
  • - Researchers measured two types of AGD and conducted logistic regression analysis to determine their association with prostate cancer outcomes, focusing on biochemical recurrence and surgical specimen margins.
  • - Results indicate that longer AGD, linked to higher prenatal androgen exposure, correlates with worse prognosis in prostate cancer cases.
