Similarities of prostate and breast cancer: evolution, diet, and estrogens
DS Coffey - Urology, 2001 - Elsevier
Environment determines the risk of both prostate and breast cancer, and this risk can vary>
10-fold. In contrast, no risk exists for human seminal vesicle cancer demonstrating tissue
specificity. There is also species specificity, because there is no risk for prostate cancer in
any other aging mammal except the dog. A study of evolution indicates that the prostate and
breast appeared at the same time 65 million years ago with the development of mammals.
All male mammals have a prostate; however, the seminal vesicles are variable and are …
