Obesity and prostate cancer risk: Gaps in our current understanding, and thoughts on how to close the gaps (Part 1)

Description
The role of obesity in prostate cancer risk is unclear. Many studies point to obese men having a lower overall risk, but a greater risk of aggressive disease and death. This area of research is understudied. As the most common cancer (other than skin cancer) in men both in the United States and worldwide, more research is urgently needed. Over the course of two one-hour webinars, four experts will address 1) what is known regarding the epidemiology, nutrition, basic and clinical science of prostate cancer risk, 2) gaps in our current understanding, and 3) challenges and possible approaches to close the gaps.
Reference: Obesity and prostate cancer: A narrative review.
