Researchers identify dozens of new gene changes that point to elevated risk of prostate cancer in men of European descent

Findings may help identify men who need early, regular screening As the result of a six-year long research process, Fredrick R. Schumacher, a cancer epidemiology researcher at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and an international team of more than 100 colleagues have identified 63 new genetic variations that could indicate higher risk of prostate cancer in men of European descent. The findings, published in a research letter in Nature Genetics, contain significant implications for which men may need … Continue reading Researchers identify dozens of new gene changes that point to elevated risk of prostate cancer in men of European descent
