We examine the relationship between serum vitamin D levels in men who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) and the presence of adverse pathology. METHODS Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) was obtained from 199 PCa patients at the time of prostate biopsy who underwent RP within 1 year in Chicago, Illinois. Adverse pathology at the time of RP was defined by the presence of dominant Gleason pattern 4, the presence of any pattern 5, and pathologic stage ≥ pT3a. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize important covariates including age, race, body mass index (BMI), alcohol & smoking use, income, PCa family history, marital status, education, 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor use, and season. Season was defined based on UV exposure data. Cut points for 25-OH D deficiency were based on sensitivity analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of 25-OH D and adverse pathology. RESULTS Table 1 displays characteristics of the adverse vs. non-adverse pathology groups. On univariate analysis, adverse pathology was correlated with age (r=0.15; p=0.03), PSA (r=0.21;p=0.003), obesity (r=0.19; p=0.007) and a 25-OH D level less than 30ng/mL (r=0.16; p=0.03). Race, alcohol use, smoking status, income, level of education, PCa family history and season were not correlated with the presence of adverse pathology. On regression, age (OR 1.05; p=0.047), obesity (OR 2.39; p = 0.01), and 25-OH D < 30 ng/mL (OR 2.20; p=0.04) were associated with increased odds of adverse pathology. Smoking, season, and race were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Serum vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased odds of adverse pathology on RP. The mechanisms underlying this association deserve further exploration. Table 1. Characteristics of men with and without adverse pathology at the time of radical prostatectomy.
