lüll Circulating folate, vitamin B12, homocysteine, vitamin B12 transport proteins, and risk of prostate cancer: a case-control study, systematic review, and meta-analysis Collin SM; Metcalfe C; Refsum H; Lewis SJ; Zuccolo L; Smith GD; Chen L; Harris R; Davis M; Marsden G; Johnston C; Lane JA; Ebbing M; Bonaa KH; Nygard O; Ueland PM; Grau MV; Baron JA; Donovan JL; Neal DE; Hamdy FC; Smith AD; Martin RMCancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2010[Jun]; 19 (6): 1632-42BACKGROUND: Disturbed folate metabolism is associated with an increased risk of some cancers. Our objective was to determine whether blood levels of folate, vitamin B(12), and related metabolites were associated with prostate cancer risk. METHODS: Matched case-control study nested within the U.K. population-based Prostate testing for cancer and Treatment (ProtecT) study of prostate-specific antigen-detected prostate cancer in men ages 50 to 69 years. Plasma concentrations of folate, B(12) (cobalamin), holo-haptocorrin, holo-transcobalamin total transcobalamin, and total homocysteine (tHcy) were measured in 1,461 cases and 1,507 controls. ProtecT study estimates for associations of folate, B(12), and tHcy with prostate cancer risk were included in a meta-analysis, based on a systematic review. RESULTS: In the ProtecT study, increased B(12) and holo-haptocorrin concentrations showed positive associations with prostate cancer risk [highest versus lowest quartile of B(12) odds ratio (OR) = 1.17 (95% confidence interval, 0.95-1.43); P(trend) = 0.06; highest versus lowest quartile of holo-haptocorrin OR = 1.27 (1.04-1.56); P(trend) = 0.01]; folate, holo-transcobalamin, and tHcy were not associated with prostate cancer risk. In the meta-analysis, circulating B(12) levels were associated with an increased prostate cancer risk [pooled OR = 1.10 (1.01-1.19) per 100 pmol/L increase in B(12); P = 0.002]; the pooled OR for the association of folate with prostate cancer was positive [OR = 1.11 (0.96-1.28) per 10 nmol/L; P = 0.2) and conventionally statistically significant if ProtecT (the only case-control study) was excluded [OR = 1.18 (1.00-1.40) per 10 nmol/L; P = 0.02]. CONCLUSION: Vitamin B(12) and (in cohort studies) folate were associated with increased prostate cancer risk. IMPACT: Given current controversies over mandatory fortification, further research is needed to determine whether these are causal associations.|Aged[MESH]|Case-Control Studies[MESH]|Folic Acid/*blood[MESH]|Homocysteine/*blood[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Prostatic Neoplasms/*blood[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Transcobalamins/*metabolism[MESH]|Vitamin B 12/*blood[MESH] |
