Inflammatory Bowel Disease And Risk Of Prostate Cancer: A Matched-Cohort Analysis.

55Background: There are few data on the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in men with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and there are no data comparing serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values between men with IBD and matched men without IBD. Methods: This study retrospectively matched men with IBD based on race and age 1 to 9 to men without IBD (controls) who underwent PCa screening with at least one PSA at a single academic medical center from 1996 to 2017. Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox analyses were used to compare the risk of any and clinically significant PCa (Gleason grade group u003e 1) between the two groups adjusting for number of PSA tests, abnormal rectal exam, age, and race. A mix-effects regression was used to assess the association between PSA and IBD status. Results: After a median follow-up of 6.5 years for 1,033 men with IBD and 4.7 years for 9,306 controls, the median number of PSA tests was 2, 74% were white, and median age at first PSA (starting point of follow-up) was 53 years.
