Since the 1990s, UK prostate cancer rates have increased by 48% in males and are projected to rise to 60% by 2035.
Most men with early prostate cancer don’t have signs or symptoms which means the disease can progress and spread to a stage when curative treatment is not possible.
Prostate cancer is often non-aggressive, however 10-15% of men with prostate cancer develop aggressive life – threatening tumours at an early age which can be prone to spreading rapidly to an incurable stage.
A high proportion of men in the high-risk group carry faulty inherited cancer genes which affect cells’ ability to repair their DNA. Survival among men with faulty DNA repair genes is half that of men with no genetic mutations.
Family history is not enough — by testing everyone, you overlook no one.
Test for High-Risk Aggressive Prostate Cancer
The presence of faulty DNA repair genes enables identification of men at high risk of developing early aggressive life-threatening prostate cancer.
Patients identified with a high risk of prostate cancer can benefit from increased surveillance and preventative steps to better manage their disease.
