Hello everyone,

 

I want to share the following information with you about some exciting
prostate cancer research published this week:

 

Canadian scientists have discovered a link between an inherited mutation in
the BRCA2 gene with a deadly form of prostate cancer. 

The Canadian Prostate Cancer Genome Network (CPC-GENE) has published
findings from the world’s most comprehensive genetic analysis of prostate
cancers in the journal Nature.

Led by Drs. Robert Bristow of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Paul
Boutros of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, CPC-GENE has uncovered
the full set of mutations that can occur in the most common cancer in men.
By fully cataloging these mutations, the CPC-GENE team was able to create a
new signature that predicts at an early stage whether a prostate cancer
tumour will become aggressive or not, allowing for personalized treatment. 

 

Below are a group of articles that provide more details:  

 

This research has been made possible through a partnership with the Movember
Foundation, Prostate Cancer Canada and the Ontario Institute for Cancer
Research and will benefit all Canadians who are diagnosed with prostate
cancer.
