    Background: Prostate Cancer (PCa) is one of the most common tumors to be diagnosed globally. It is still up for debate in PCa despite mounting data linking obesity and adipokines, particularly leptin and its receptors, with the onset and progression of cancer. Although there is a connection between obesity and prostate cancer, the exact cause is yet unknown. Several epidemiological studies have linked vitamin D risk and PC result.
