Environmental exposures and prostate cancer

Jeffrey K Mullins et al. Urol Oncol. 2012 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Many malignancies have been linked to specific environmental exposures. Several environmental and occupational factors have been studied for an association to prostate cancer (CaP) risk. These include Agent Orange exposure, farming and pesticides, sunlight/ultraviolet radiation, as well as trace minerals used in tire and battery manufacturing. This manuscript reviews the literature on these environmental exposures and CaP.
