Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly prevalent malignant tumor in the male reproductive system, and the association between its incidence and POPs exposure has attracted increasing attention. This review systematically summarizes recent epidemiological and experimental research evidence, indicating that multiple POPs are associated with the incidence risk, invasive progression, and poor clinical outcomes of PCa. A comprehensive mechanism analysis framework is constructed to clarify that POPs are associated with the occurrence and development of Pca mainly through four synergistic biological pathways: as endocrine disruptors, they interfere with androgen and aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathways; potentially inducing epigenetic reprogramming including DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression; may contribute to abnormal reorganization of cellular energy metabolism, lipid, and amino acid metabolism; and being linked to oxidative stress, which may lead to damage to the antioxidant defense system and genomic instability. Based on the above understanding of the mechanisms, we further propose a comprehensive prevention and control strategy covering the entire chain, including multi-dimensional public health intervention measures from source emission reduction, transmission pathway interruption to protection of susceptible populations. Moreover, we integrate the POPs exposure assessment into the whole-process clinical management of PCa, including the practical pathways for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This review not only deepens the understanding of the complex mechanisms through which POPs are associated with PCa, but also provides a crucial theoretical basis for formulating evidence-based, precise prevention and treatment strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcell.2026.1741752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]],"date-time":"2026-03-11T06:53:24Z","timestamp":1773212004000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Persistent organic pollutants and prostate cancer: multiple mechanisms and comprehensive control strategies"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Chengsen","family":"Lv","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongliang","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuxin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lianchao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liming","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shanyu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Honglan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jialin","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Hospital of Jilin University","place":["Changchun, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"429","DOI":"10.3233\/cbm-190636","article-title":"Genetic susceptibility of Cyp1a1 gene and risk of pesticide exposure in prostate cancer","volume":"29","author":"Abhishek","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cancer Biomark."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"800","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwg040","article-title":"Use of agricultural pesticides and prostate cancer risk in the agricultural health study cohort","volume":"157","author":"Alavanja","year":"2003","journal-title":"Am.
