{"Image DocumentName": "Aetiology of Prostate Cancer", "Image ImageDescription": "Testosterone. Promotes prostate cancer development. Prostate cancer does not develop in eunuchs. Testosterone supplements problematic in men with normal serum testosterone levels. Genetics. Mutations in BRCA1 (on chromosome 17) and BRCA2 (on chromosome 13), important risk factors for ovarian. cancer and breast cancer in women, have also been implicated in prostate cancer. Other linked genes include the Hereditary Prostate Cancer Gene (HPC1) on chromosome 1, said to be responsible. for 3% of prostate cancers. Dietary Factors. Little scientific evidence for dietary factors involved in the development of prostate cancer. Relatively rare in South East Asian populations with diets high in phytoestrogens such as soy.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
