Infertility Associated With Prostate Cancer
Infertility likely increases the risk of developing prostate cancer in men. This is according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Cancer Society.
Researchers analyzed data from over 22,000 men from fertility centers in California from 1967 to 1998. The study authors identified 168 cases of prostate cancer that developed in men who were reviewed for infertility. Men who were found to be infertile were 2.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer than men who were were not found to be infertile.
This study showed that infertility was associated with the development of prostate cancer but did not offer an explanation for this association.
