Gene expression profiling of prostate tissue identifies chromatin regulation as a potential link between obesity and lethal prostate cancer

Abstract

Obese men are at higher risk of advanced prostate cancer and cancer‐specific mortality; however, the biology underlying this association remains unclear. This study examined gene expression profiles of prostate tissue to identify biological processes differentially expressed by obesity status and lethal prostate cancer.
