More equitable testing for prostate cancer risk is on the horizon, as researchers report findings from the largest and most genetically diverse study of prostate cancer genes ever conducted.
The study, published in Nature Genetics, identified 187 new genetic variants linked to men’s risk of developing prostate cancer, including several that were only found in men with African ancestry. The findings may help to explain why men with African . . .
