A study following a group of men who have prostate cancer and gene changes (GENPROS)

Overview

Cancer types:

Prostate cancer

Status:

Open

Phase:

Other

Details

This study is looking at whether there are differences in how well prostate cancer treatment works if you have certain gene changes.

We know from research that men who have changes (mutations) to certain genes such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. And if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer it may be more likely to grow and spread if you have one of these gene changes.
