Inflammation of the prostate is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, a bacterial infection, which infects an estimated 174 million people globally each year.
A new study, involving analysis of blood samples from 673 men with prostate cancer, was conducted by Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
The results showed that the infection was associated with a more than two-fold increase in the risk of being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and a nearly three-fold increase in prostate cancer that turned out to be fatal.
Jennifer Stark, lead author of the study published by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, said: “Identifying modifiable risk factors for the lethal form of prostate cancer offers the greatest opportunity to reduce suffering from the disease.”
