Major gene study seeks to unlock why some prostate cancers are more aggressive
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to understand how prostate cancer progresses in men who have specific inherited gene mutations (like BRCA1/BRCA2) that increase their risk. It will follow over 4,000 men, comparing outcomes for those with and without these mutations. The goal is to gather critical…
