Inflammation and Prostrate Cancer Article in Forbes:
"Is There A Link Between Prostate Cancer And Chronic Inflammation?"By Robert Glatter MD

Excerpt:
"Based on data from a new study from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, men who demonstrate evidence of chronic inflammation seen in prostate biopsies stemming from chronic prostatitis may have close to twice the risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those without inflammation.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in the US.
The link between developing cancer and having chronic inflammation was even more striking for men with aggressive or high-grade prostate cancer, reflected in a Gleason score between 7 and 10. The Gleason score is a numeric scale for assessing risk of developing invasive or high-grade prostate cancer based on microscopic evaluation of prostate tissue.
The research was published April 18 in the Journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention."
