Can early screening save men with 'Cancer Genes'?
NCT ID NCT00261456
Summary
This study aims to understand if annual PSA blood tests can help find prostate cancer earlier in men who carry high-risk BRCA or Lynch syndrome gene mutations. It will compare about 850 men with these mutations to 850 similar men without them over five years. The goal is to learn if these men develop cancer more often or differently, and if regular screening is beneficial for them.
