Abstract
Purpose: Cancer often coexists with erectile dysfunction, yet the causal relationship between them remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the causal link between tumors and ED through Mendelian randomization.
Method: Data on 13 different cancers, including lung cancer, colorectal cancer, testicular cancer, lymphoma, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, bladder cancer and brain cancer were collected from various databases. ED data, comprising 2,205 cases and 164,104 controls, were sourced from the FinnGen project. Primary methods for MR analysis included IVW, MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode.
Results: IVW results revealed associations between colorectal cancer (OR=1.17;95% CI 1.02-1.13, p=0.0252), prostate cancer (OR=1.63;95% CI 1.52-1.75, p<0.001) and liver cancer (OR=0.93;95% CI 0.88 -0.99, p=0.012) with ED.
Conclusion: Mendelian randomization analysis supports that prostate cancer and colorectal cancer are associated with an increased risk of Erectile Dysfunction, whereas liver cancer is linked to a decreased risk of ED. No evidence suggests that ED contributes to an increased risk of prostate cancer.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Endocrinology is a field journal of the "Frontiers in" journal series.
In today’s world, endocrinology is becoming increasingly important as it underlies many of the challenges societies face - from obesity and diabetes to reproduction, population control and aging. Endocrinology covers a broad field from basic molecular and cellular communication through to clinical care and some of the most crucial public health issues. The journal, thus, welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of endocrinology.
Frontiers in Endocrinology publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Endocrinology. The mission of Frontiers in Endocrinology is to bring all relevant Endocrinology areas together on a single platform.
