Prostate cancer, Risk factors, Sexual behaviorAbstract
Prostate cancer is the neoplasia that has the greatest impact on the male population. Its known risk factors are age, race, and genetics, whereas others, such as sexual behavior, have not been established.
Objective: To measure the association of sexual behavior and other factors with prostate cancer in a Mexican population.
Materials and methods: A paired case-control study was conducted, in which the cases were patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate and the controls were patients with no PCa, paired by ± 3 years of age. The study variable data were obtained through a confidential medical interview and hospital case records.
Results: Beginning sexual relations after 18 years of age had an OR of 2.82 (95% CI 1.27-6.25), being single had an OR of 16.4 (95% CI 5.42-49.65), sexual intercourse with sex workers had an OR of 8.75 (95% CI 3.66-20.9), and a history of a sexually transmitted disease had an OR of 2.49 (95% CI 1.24-4.99).
Conclusions: A late beginning of sexual relations, being single, sexual intercourse with sex workers, and a history of a sexually transmitted disease were the male sexual behaviors associated with the risk for presenting with prostate cancer. We found no association with the number of sexual partners or the frequency of sexual intercourse.
