Comparison of the clinicopathologic features of prostate cancer in US and Chinese populations.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignant tumor found among men in the United States. Incidence rates of PCa have recently grown in Asian countries, partially due to the comprehensive implementation of early detection systems. Interestingly, a prospective cohort study showed that adopting a westernized dietary pattern was associated with a higher risk of being diagnosed with PCa among Korean and Japanese men.
