Keep God Weird

Australian research workers state the same factor that put option women at a high hazard for breast malignant neoplastic disease also may give work force a heightened hazard for prostate gland cancer.

Men from households where the women have got high rates of breast malignant neoplastic disease are about four modern times more likely to develop prostate gland cancer, according to research funded by Australia's National Breast Cancer Foundation and conducted by kConFab, an Australian and New Seeland pool for research into familial breast cancer.

The pool investigated households with multiple lawsuits of breast and ovarian malignant neoplastic disease for 10 old age and noticed that prostate gland malignant neoplastic disease was also common in some of the families.

The households with multiple breast and prostate gland malignant neoplastic disease lawsuits all carried the BRCA2 gene, which have been shown to set women at an increased hazard for breast cancer.

Researchers now believe the BRCA2 gene, as well as the other factor that have been linked to breast cancer, the BRCA1 gene, may set work force at an increased hazard for prostate gland cancer. The survey was published in the diary Clinical Cancer Research.
