As a result of a demographic shift in population, the number of men at risk for developing prostate cancer is growing rapidly. For 2002, an estimated 189,000prostate cancer cases were diagnosed in the U.S., accompanied by an estimated 30,200 prostate cancer deaths [Jemalet al., 2002]. Most prostate cancer is now diagnosed in men who were biopsied as a result of an elevated serum PSA(>4 ng/ml) level detected following routine screening. Autopsy studies [Breslow et al., 1977; Yatani et al., 1982; Sakret al., 1993], and the recent results of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) [Thompson et al., 2003], a large scaleclinical trial where all men entered the trial without an elevated PSA (<3 ng/ml) were subsequently biopsied, indicate theprevalence of histologic prostate cancer is much higher than anticipated by PSA screening. Environmental factors, such asdiet and lifestyle, have long been recognized contributors to the development of prostate cancer. Recent studies of themolecular alterations in prostate cancer cells have begun to provide clues as to how prostate cancer may arise andprogress. For example, while inflammation in the prostate has been suggested previously as a contributor to prostatecancer development [Gardner and Bennett, 1992; Platz, 1998; De Marzo et al., 1999; Nelson et al., 2003], researchregarding the genetic and pathological aspects of prostate inflammation has only recently begun to receive attention.
Here, we review the subject of inflammation and prostate cancer as part of a ‘‘chronic epithelial injury’’ hypothesis ofprostate carcinogenesis, and the somatic genome and phenotypic changes characteristic of prostate cancer cells. We alsopresent the implications of these changes for prostate cancer diagnosis, detection, prevention, and treatment. J. Cell.
