Gene score may predict prostate cancer worsening
NCT ID NCT07491406
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 185 men with low-risk prostate cancer who chose active surveillance (monitoring instead of immediate treatment). Researchers used a genetic test called a polygenic risk score to see if it could predict which men would have their cancer get worse over time. The goal is to help doctors personalize monitoring and avoid unnecessary treatments for those at lower risk.
