Article Synopsis
- Current studies indicate a complicated link between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and prostate cancer (PC), prompting investigation into their association.
- A meta-analysis of 79,316 individuals revealed that SLE patients have a significantly lower risk of developing PC, while genetically elevated SLE was also associated with reduced PC risk.
- The study found that the use of immunosuppressants may increase PC risk, while glucocorticoids and NSAIDs did not show such an association, suggesting a need for further research to clarify these findings.
