The exact etiology of adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland remains an enigma. However, there appears to be a clear-cut mandate to search for, and to eradicate if possible, all infections of the genital tract including prostatitis. Diets with adequate zinc or zinc supplements should be considered. Sexual practices could be more closely scrutinized. Finally, an urgent appeal is made for intense investigation of this malady.Two cases of prostatic carcinoma are presented and pertinent literature is reviewed.
前列腺腺癌的确切病因仍是个谜。然而，显然有必要寻找并尽可能根除包括前列腺炎在内的所有生殖道感染。应考虑摄入富含锌的饮食或补充锌剂。性行为可能需要更仔细地审视。最后，迫切呼吁对这种疾病展开深入研究。本文介绍了两例前列腺癌病例并对相关文献进行了综述。
