More than half of all cases of prostate cancer are five genes responsible for this view came Swiss scientists. Scientists have analyzed the DNA of Swiss men, of whom 2893 patients with prostate cancer and 1781 without the disease. According to the results of the study, four of the five carriers of genes risk of prostate cancer by 4.5 times to those who compared not either of these genes. In the presence of all five genes and cancer relatives, the risk increases to 9.5 times. The average age of the men in the study was approximately 60 years. According to Dr. Jianfeng Xu, the study shows that the risk factor can be inherited by men. The traditional method of detecting prostate cancer - a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and a physical examination. According to Dr. Lilly Zheng, a group of men who were once their prostate is not worried, they at low risk of disease, particularly believe based on the analysis (PSA) may be a risk of transmission of one or more genes.
