It is now possible for genetic assessment of developing prostate cancer

American scientists have identified the opportunity at the genetic level to recognize the potential of cancer of the prostate. Now a normal urine or blood test can provide doctors with complete information about the risks of developing prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the second most common illness among men of retirement age. Contraption model assessment of the risk of generating prostate cancer in men will allow to predict and prevent disease.

The survey found that among subjects who received the ball in a percentage reaching 10% probability risk to develop prostate cancer, 6 times more than all other patients. A high percentage of the cancer cells broadcasts the presence of mutations at the gene level. With the new method of study analyses of patients increases the risk to preserve the lives of potential patients. Earlier, similar tests were only for women and determined the risk of breast cancer for the male population such a diagnosis innovative.
