However, we found that, among men with the homozygous CC wild-type (but not CT/TT) of the HIF-1alpha P582S, higher IGFBP-3 levels (>/= vs. <median) were associated with a 28% (95% CI, 0.55-0.95; P(interaction) = 0.01) lower risk of overall CaP and a 53% (0.25-0.88; P(interaction) = 0.11) lower risk of metastatic and fatal CaP.
