14 Proposed relationship between dietary calcium and prostate cancer Giovannucci et al., Cancer Res 1998;58:442-7

15 Challenges in epidemiologic studies of diet and prostate cancer Changing spectrum of prostate cancer cases due to screening for elevated PSA - Enrichment of cases with early disease Misclassification of exposure - Assessment only in middle age Variation in study quality

16 Future directions in epidemiologic studies of diet and prostate cancer Tailor hypotheses that are testable using early stage disease Use appropriate study populations Select appropriate cases Conduct analyses by type of case Elucidate mechanisms Methodology for systematically reviewing mechanisms - Continuous Update Project Request For Application:

17 Summary Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide Strong evidence that greater body fatness (marked by BMI, waist-circumference, and waist-hip ratio) is probably a cause of advanced prostate cancer Strong evidence that developmental factors leading to greater linear growth (marked by adult attained height) are probably a cause of prostate cancer Limited evidence that diets high in calcium or higher consumption of dairy products increases the risk of prostate cancer More evidence needed on characterising mechanisms that underpin the association between calcium and prostate cancer risk A recent paper on dairy products, calcium, and prostate cancer risk by the Continuous Update Project research team in the AJCN: doi: / ajcn More information in the prostate cancer report: /
