Phenotypic and genetically predicted leukocyte telomere length and prostate cancer risk: results from a large-scale longitudinal cohort study
Our findings offer evidence that leukocyte telomere length is an important risk factor for PCa. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking leukocyte telomere length to PCa risk.
