Genetic risk? new study aims to catch aggressive prostate cancer early
NCT ID NCT04472338
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks for better ways to find aggressive prostate cancer early in people who have a genetic risk. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and tissue samples from 450 participants to learn more about the genetics of this disease. The goal is to improve future screening and treatment, not to test a new treatment itself.
