SE Bonn, A Sjölander, A Tillander… - … journal of cancer, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
High Body mass index (BMI) has been directly associated with risk of aggressive or fatal
prostate cancer. One possible explanation may be an effect of BMI on serum levels of …

Body mass index does not predict prostate-specific antigen or percent free prostate-specific antigen in men undergoing prostate cancer screening

G Hutterer, P Perrotte, A Gallina, J Walz… - European Journal of …, 2007 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVES: Body mass index (BMI) may alter serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) and
