Prostate cancer is the second most common neoplasia amongst men worldwide. Hereditary susceptibility and ancestral heritage are well-established risk factors that explain the disparity trends across different ethnicities, populations, and regions even within the same country. The Y-chromosome has been considered a prototype biomarker for male health.

Article Synopsis
- Smoking increases the risk of HPV infections, but the impact of e-cigarettes and marijuana in underserved populations is not well understood.
- A study analyzed data from 1,351 individuals (687 males and 664 females) from NHANES 2013-2016, focusing on smoking history, e-cigarette use, and high-risk HPV infections.
- Results showed that both high cigarette consumption and e-cigarette use were significantly linked to high-risk HPV infections, with implications for prevention strategies in diverse populations.
Objective: To evaluate the association between dairy intake patterns and the risk of prostate cancer (PC), and its histological differentiation, among men from Mexico City.
Methods: We analyzed the information from 394 incident PC cases paired by age (± 5 years) with 794 population controls. According to the Gleason score at diagnosis, cases were classified as well- (≤ 6), moderately- (= 7), and poorly differentiated PC (≥ 8).
Background: The association between total testosterone (T) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), remains poorly understood. We aim to investigate this association and how it varies by smoking status, body fatness, and race/ethnicity in a nationally representative sample of American men.
Methods: Data included a full sample (NHANES 1988-1991, 1999-2004, 2011-2012) and subset sample (excluding 2011-2012, no estradiol and SHBG levels available) of 2748 and 906 men (≥20 years), respectively.
Objective: To estimate prostate cancer (PC) survival in Mexico and explore survival disparities according to the marginalization level of residence place.
Materials And Methods: A nationwide administrative claims database (4 110 men) whose PC treatment was financed by Seguro Popular between 2012-2016, was cross-linked to the National Mortality Registry up to December 2019. Patients were classified according to their oncological risk at diagnosis and the marginalization level of the residence municipality.
