Abstract:
The prostate is surrounded by adipose tissue called periprostatic adipose tissue (PPAT).This article reviews the correlation between PPAT and prostate cancer, the boundaries and methods of PPAT measurement, and the role of PPAT in prostate tumor microenvironment, so as to provide new treatment strategies and risk stratification factors for prostate cancer.
