Clinical trial recruits men with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene
A study is taking place across 21 UK cancer centres to find a way of testing men with either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene for prostate cancer. The IMPACT study is looking for men aged between 40 and 69 years, who have already been tested for the gene. If you have been tested for BRCA1 or BRCA2 and would like to take part in the trial, call Liz Bancroft, Research Nurse for the trial, on 020 7808 2136 for more details. She would like to hear from men who have tested positive or negative for the gene, but you must have already been tested.
If you have not had any genetic tests, and are concerned about your family history of prostate or breast cancer, ask your GP for advice on getting help from a genetics centre. Or call our confidential Helpline on telephone 0800 074 8383 (Mon-Fri 10am-4pm, Wed 7pm-9pm).
