Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been linked with several human cancers. Prostate cancer is the most common neoplasm in male adults and is often treated with radical prostatectomy (RP). ⋯ Several studies have investigated the connections between MetS and the risk of developing prostate cancer, as well as the oncological outcomes of patients who already suffer from PCa and receive a radical treatment. This comprehensive review explores the available evidence dealing with MetS and the oncological and functional results of RP for PCa.
