To investigate serologic evidence of infection by cytomegalovirus (CMV), a herpesvirus with known oncogenic potential that has been detected in malignant prostate tissue, in relation to prostate cancer (PCa) risk in a large case-control study nested in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT).
Cases were men with a confirmed diagnosis of PCa after visit 2 (n = 614), and controls were men not diagnosed with PCa during the trial who also had a negative end-of-study biopsy (n = 616). Controls were frequency-matched to cases by age, treatment arm, and family history of PCa. Sera from visit 2 were tested for CMV IgG antibodies.
No association was observed between CMV serostatus and PCa risk (adjusted CMV seroprevalence = 67.9 % for cases and 65.2 % for controls, odds ratio = 1.13, 95 % CI 0.89-1.45).
Considering our null findings in the context of the full CMV literature, CMV infection, as measured by serostatus, does not appear to increase PCa risk.
在前列腺癌预防试验(PCPT)中进行的一项大型病例对照研究中,调查巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染的血清学证据与前列腺癌(PCa)风险的关系。CMV 是一种具有已知致癌潜力的疱疹病毒,已在恶性前列腺组织中检测到。
病例为在第 2 次访视后确诊为 PCa 的男性(n=614),对照组为在试验期间未被诊断为 PCa 且研究结束时活检结果为阴性的男性(n=616)。对照组通过年龄、治疗臂和 PCa 家族史与病例进行频率匹配。第 2 次访视时的血清检测 CMV IgG 抗体。
CMV 血清阳性状态与 PCa 风险之间未观察到关联(病例的 CMV 血清流行率为 67.9%,对照组为 65.2%,比值比=1.13,95%置信区间为 0.89-1.45)。
考虑到我们在完整的 CMV 文献中的阴性发现,CMV 感染(通过血清阳性状态衡量)似乎不会增加 PCa 风险。
