At my last oncology appointment I was asked to take part in this study as my father died of PC at the age of 53. Your oncologist may not have mentioned it to you or you may not be eligible as you have no first, second or third degree relatives who were diagnosed under the age of 65. However, please read this page and see if you might be eligible.
The more PC patients who can take part in this study the more likely the Institute of Cancer Research is to discover if there is a genetic link to Prostate Cancer in families.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
