Association of prostate cancer polygenic risk score with number and laterality of tumor cores in active surveillance patients

Abstract

Prostate cancer (PCa) is characterized by its tendency to be multifocal. However, few studies have investigated the endogenous factors that explain the multifocal disease. The primary objective of the current study is to test whether inherited PCa risk is associated with multifocal tumors in PCa patients.
