Abstract
CONTEXT Smoking, sexual activity, and physical activity (PA) are discussed as modifiable lifestyle factors associated with prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the available evidence concerning the association of smoking, sexual activity, and sports and exercise on PCa risk, treatment outcome, progression, and cancer-specific mortality. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic review of studies published between 2007 and 2017 using MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science databases according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement criteria was conducted. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS While data concerning the impact of smoking on PCa development remain conflicting, there is robust evidence that smoking is associated with aggressive tumor features and worse cancer-related outcome, which seems to be maintained for 10 yr after smoking cessation. Less convincing and limited evidence exists for the association of sexual activity with PCa risk. The findings related to PA and PCa support the inference that exercise might be a useful factor in the prevention of PCa and tumor progression, while it is not finally proved under which specific conditions PA might be protective against disease development. CONCLUSIONS Smoking is associated with aggressive tumor features and worse cancer-related prognosis; as this negative impact seems to be maintained for 10yr after smoking cessation, urologists should advise men to quit smoking latest at PCa diagnosis to improve their prognosis. As several studies indicate a positive impact of exercise on tumor development, progression, and treatment outcome, it is certainly reasonable to advocate an active lifestyle. Least convincing evidence is available for the interaction of sexual activity and PCa, and well-conducted and longitudinal studies are clearly necessary to evaluate whether the suggested associations between PCa risk and sexual behavior are real or spurious. PATIENT SUMMARY In this systematic review, we looked at the impact of smoking, sexual activity, and sports and exercise on prostate cancer risk and outcome after treatment. While the evidence for sexual activity is not overall clear, we found that smoking might lead to more aggressive cancers and result in worse treatment outcome. Physical activity might prevent prostate cancer and improve cancer-related outcomes as well. Hence, it is certainly reasonable to advocate an active lifestyle and advise men to quit smoking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although an expert review published in 2013 concluded that an association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and prostate cancer (PCa) risk had not yet been firmly established, a 2011 systematic review of 14 articles revealed an increased prevalence of HPV-16 DNA in PCa tissues. Another meta-analysis of the related articles is needed to evaluate the potential link between HPV infection and PCa risk. METHODS A snowballing search strategy was applied to the previously cited articles in the above-mentioned expert review and systematic review. Additional articles selected for this meta-analysis should fulfill all following inclusion criteria: (a) evaluation of detected HPV-16 DNA in tissue samples and the PCa risk and (b) report of the HPV-16 prevalence in both cancer and control tissues. Estimated summary odds ratios (sOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using fixed effect or random-effect models. RESULTS Hand searching identified 16 new articles. The sOR of the total 30 articles indicated a significant HPV-16 infection-related increase in the PCa risk (sOR, 1.851; 95% CI, 1.353 to 2.532, I(2)=37.82%). CONCLUSIONS These facts provide additional supportive evidence for a causal role of HPV-16 infection in prostate carcinogenesis. As the PCa incidence rates have increased rapidly in Asian countries, including Korea, during the last several decades, further studies of HPV-related PCa carcinogenesis may be necessary.

Abstract
The Polyomavirus BK (BKV) has been proposed to be one of the possible co-factors in the genesis of prostate cancer (PCa) but, so far, the only convincing suggestion is the hypothesis of a “hit and run” carcinogenic mechanism induced by the virus at early stages of this disease. To support this hypothesis we conducted an updated systematic review on previous studies regarding the association between BKV and PCa, in order to interpret the contrasting results and to explore whether there might be a significant virus-disease link. This updated analysis provides evidence for a significant link between BKV expression and PCa development, particularly between the BKV infection and the cancer risk. Forthcoming scientific efforts that take cue from this study might overcome the atavistic and fruitless debate regarding the BKV-PCa association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether the oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially infection with the most common subtypes 16 or 18, is related to prostate carcinogenesis remains conflicting. A meta-analysis with updated data was performed to obtain a more precise estimate of the association between them. METHODS Eligible studies were retrieved via both computer searches and review of references. The relation of HPV-16 or HPV-18 infection to prostate cancer (PC) was quantified separately. Stratified analyses based on HPV detection methods and geographic regions were also performed. Estimates of OR with 95% CI were summarized using the fixed-effect or random-effect models as appropriate. RESULTS Twenty-five eligible studies were retrieved. All the 25 studies were assigned for exploring the relation of HPV-16 infection to PC, while 13 studies provided additional information on HPV-18 simultaneously. In the overall estimates, the pooled OR indicated no significant increase of PC risk related with either HPV-16 (OR 1.09; 95% CI 0.97-1.23; P(heterogeneity) = 0.135) or HPV-18 (OR 1.05; 95% CI 0.89-1.24; P(heterogeneity) = 0.314) infection. Further quantitative assay of stratified data could also not yield any significant result, except the stratified analysis on HPV-16 DNA detection, which revealed higher HPV-16 DNA prevalence in PC cases (OR 1.54; 95% CI 1.07-2.20; P(heterogeneity) = 0.130). CONCLUSIONS Even though the overall estimates did not provide a supportive evidence for the causal role of HPV in prostate carcinogenesis, higher HPV-16 DNA prevalence in PC cases from the stratified analysis still indicated a potential association between HPV infection and PC risk in our meta-analysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Urinary tract infections can result from bladder outlet obstruction and consecutive post-void residual urine. In a recent publication, a cutoff for post-void residual urine of 180 ml was calculated, revealing sensitivity and specificity of 87 and 98.5%, respectively, regarding occurrence of significant bacteriuria in asymptomatic men. In the present study the association between post-void residual urine volume and urinary tract infection was evaluated, and different cutoff values were validated. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 225 asymptomatic patients (median age 66 years) were prospectively evaluated regarding the following criteria: prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume, International Prostate Symptom Score, peak urinary flow rate, urine culture results, urinary test strip, and post-void residual urine volume. By ROC analysis a cutoff predicting significant bacteriuria was calculated, and different cutoff values were validated. The independent influence of several parameters on the incidence of urinary tract infection was measured using multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS Of the patients, 60% were able to completely empty the bladder (post-void residual urine volume </=10 ml); 31% (n=69) had significant bacteriuria in the urine culture. Escherichia coli was identified in 59 of 69 patients (86%) with positive urine culture. Patients presenting with urinary tract infection had significantly higher mean post-void residual urine volumes than patients with negative urine culture (113 vs 41 ml, p<0.001). In 29 men (13%) residual volume was 180 ml or greater. Regarding the coincidence of urinary tract infection, this cutoff value showed sensitivity and specificity of 28 and 94%, respectively (AUC: 0.606, p=0.012). By ROC analysis a cutoff value of 150 ml revealed the highest AUC value (0.617). Post-void residual volume had an independent significant influence on detection of urinary tract infection in multivariate regression analysis (urine culture: p=0.006; urinary test strip: p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS No cutoff value could be determined to predict positive urine culture with sufficient sensitivity and specificity. Based on the results of the present study and currently available data from the literature we are not able to recommend a cutoff value leading to therapeutic consequences. Hence, to establish the indication for treatment further criteria should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Background A novel gammaretrovirus named xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) has been recently identified and found to have a prevalence of 40% in prostate tumor samples from American patients carrying a homozygous R462Q mutation in the RNaseL gene. This mutation impairs the function of the innate antiviral type I interferon pathway and is a known susceptibility factor for prostate cancer. Here, we attempt to measure the prevalence of XMRV in prostate cancer cases in Germany and determine whether an analogous association with the R462Q polymorphism exists. Results 589 prostate tumor samples were genotyped by real-time PCR with regard to the RNaseL mutation. DNA and RNA samples from these patients were screened for the presence of XMRV-specific gag sequences using a highly sensitive nested PCR and RT-PCR approach. Furthermore, 146 sera samples from prostate tumor patients were tested for XMRV Gag and Env antibodies using a newly developed ELISA assay. In agreement with earlier data, 12.9% (76 samples) were shown to be of the QQ genotype. However, XMRV specific sequences were detected at neither the DNA nor the RNA level. Consistent with this result, none of the sera analyzed from prostate cancer patients contained XMRV-specific antibodies. Conclusion Our results indicate a much lower prevalence (or even complete absence) of XMRV in prostate tumor patients in Germany. One possible reason for this could be a geographically restricted incidence of XMRV infections.
