Amanda J. Cross,Michael F. Leitzmann,Mitchell H. Gail,Albert R. Hollenbeck,Arthur Schatzkin,Rashmi Sinha +5 more

Margaret E. Wright,Shih Chen Chang,Arthur Schatzkin,Demetrius Albanes,Victor Kipnis,Traci Mouw,Paul Hurwitz,Albert R. Hollenbeck,Michael F. Leitzmann +8 more
TL;DR: Adiposity has been linked inconsistently with prostate cancer, and few studies have evaluated whether such associations vary by disease aggressiveness; however, a large number of studies have concluded that adiposity and prostate cancer are related.
