Prediction algorithm can help target men at greatest risk of prostate cancer risk: Study – ET HealthWorld

Washington (US): A comprehensive tool for predicting an individual’s risk of developing prostate cancer has been created by Cambridge scientists. They say this could help ensure that those men at greatest risk will receive the appropriate testing while reducing unnecessary – and potentially invasive – testing for those at very low risk. CanRisk-Prostate, developed by … Read more
