3 From: Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
Ann Intern Med. 1993;118(10): doi: / Figure Legend: Prostate cancer incidence rates for the years 1973 to 1990.Rates are shown for the tricounty metropolitan Detroit area as measured by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Rates are per , are age-adjusted to the 1970 U.S. standard population, and are representative of new cancer cases diagnosed in a given year.

5 From: Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
Ann Intern Med. 1993;118(10): doi: / Figure Legend: The positive correlation between breast and prostate cancer by country.[131]The incidence of both breast and prostate cancer is higher in more developed countries. These data suggest that environmental influences may be important in the promotion of these diseases (see text). (From Rose and colleagues .).

6 From: Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
Ann Intern Med. 1993;118(10): doi: / Figure Legend: The positive correlation between the mortality rate for prostate cancer and animal fat consumption by country.[131]These data suggest that high fat intake may be related to the risk for developing prostate cancer (see text).

Ann Intern Med. 1993;118(10): doi: / Figure Legend: Potential sites of intervention for prostate cancer treatment and prevention.[13]A better understanding of the interplay of multiple hormones as well as other factors with the prostate will allow the potential design of new therapeutic strategies to intervene in the process of prostate carcinogenesis. Epidemiologic studies provide important clues in understanding the factors important in the development of prostate cancer. (Adapted from Coffey and Pienta ). ACTH = adrenocorticotropin releasing hormone; CNS = central nervous system; CRH= corticotropin releasing hormone; DHT = dihydrotestosterone; FSH = follicle stimulating hormone; FSH-RH = follicle stimulating hormone releasing hormone; LH = luteinizing hormone; LH-RH = luteinizing hormone releasing hormone; S = seminiferous; T = testosterone.
