[What causes prostate cancer: patient-perceived causes].

CONCLUSION:  Most men surveyed reported non-evidence-based causes of their PCa. Preventive programs should address the evidence-based causes more distinctly and with a high visibility. Due to the significance of lay illness beliefs for the experience of distress and the adherence to treatment, the patient's subjective cause of disease should be surveyed and considered by the urologist in charge.
