Abstract

Aim

Prostate cancer (Pca) is the most common cancer in men. Etiology of Pca is unknown. However, dietary factors are suspected. A case-control study was carried out in western Algeria to assess a possible association of diet with the risk of Pca.

Procedure

The study population consisted of 160 patients, aged 50-74 years, with histologically confirmed Pca and controls were 160 men of the same age group.

Results

Positive findings were obtained for the consumption of red meat (OR: 2.1, 95% CI: 1.1–3.9) and dairy products (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.2–4.1), whereas the consumption of olive oil (OR: 0.5, 95%CI: 0.3–1.1) and green tea (OR: 0.6, 95% CI: 0.3–1.1) were negatively associated with Pca.

Conclusion

The risk was not statistically associated with all foods selected in this study. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

Résumé

Objectif

Le cancer de la prostate (CaP) est le cancer le plus fréquent chez l’homme. Son étiologie est inconnue. Cependant, les facteurs alimentaires sont suspectés. Une étude cas-t émoins a été réalisée dans l’Ouest Algérien pour évaluer une éventuelle association entre le régime alimentaire et le risque du CaP.

Matériel et méthodes

La population d’étude était formée de 160 cas, âgés entre 50-74 ans, avec un CaP histologiquement confirmé et 160 témoins du même groupe d’âge.

Résultats

Des résultats positifs ont été obtenus pour la consommation de viande rouge (OR: 2,1 et IC 95 %: 1,1 à 3,9) et produits laitiers (OR: 2,2 et IC 95 %: 1,2 à 4,1), alors que les consommations de l’huile d’olive (OR: 0,5 et IC 95 %: 0,3 à 1,1) et de thé vert (OR: 0,6 et IC 95 %: 0,3 à 1,1) étaient inversement associées au CaP.

Conclusion

Le risque n’était pas statistiquement associé à tous les aliments sélectionnés pour cette étude. D’éventuels mécanismes sont à discuter.
