Summary

This study looks at men aged 40-69 who have certain gene mutations (BRCA1, BRCA2, or mismatch repair) that raise their risk for prostate cancer. Researchers give annual PSA tests to see how often cancer is found compared to men without these mutations. The goal is to learn more about prostate cancer in these high-risk men and improve screening methods.
