Royal Marsden study into family histories of prostate cancer

A research study at the Royal Marsden Hospital is recruiting 10,000 men who have a family history of prostate cancer. The researchers are trying to find out more about what causes prostate cancer and how a family history of the disease affects a man’s risk of being diagnosed. They would like to hear from men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and:

• Were diagnosed at age 60 or under, or
• Have a close family member (brother, father, son, nephew, cousin, grandfather) who has been diagnosed, and at least one of you was diagnosed at age 65 or under, or
• Have two or more family members who have been diagnosed at any age.

The study will involve answering a questionnaire about your family’s health and giving a blood sample. To find out more, contact Michelle Guy on 0208 661 3507.
