Keywords:
prostate cancer, comorbidity, diagnosis, treatment, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, personalized medicine.Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains one of the most common malignant neoplasms among men worldwide. Due to population aging, the prevalence of concomitant chronic diseases among patients diagnosed with prostate cancer is steadily increasing. Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and respiratory disorders significantly influence diagnostic accuracy, treatment selection, oncological outcomes, and quality of life. The presence of comorbidity complicates decision-making and requires an individualized multidisciplinary approach. This review analyzes current evidence regarding the impact of comorbid conditions on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment and discusses strategies aimed at improving outcomes in this patient population.
