Prostate cancer (PC) is a common malignancy driven by interacting genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, including hereditary mutations (BRCA1/2, HPC1, AR variants), premalignant lesions [proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)], and Western dietary patterns. The gene discussed is BRCA1; the disease is prostate intraepithelial neoplasia.
