For the men with the highest risk score, the study found this to be a better tool than the blood test which measures levels of a protein called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which can be elevated ...

Further tests revealed that I had prostate cancer, and I was told that a relatively low PSA score can still be harbouring a life-threatening tumour if the person falls in a certain genetic group.

Researchers have developed a simple spit test ... risk score. This risk score uses spit to assess 130 genetic variants known to be associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer and then ...

The saliva test analyses 130 genetic variants to calculate a polygenic risk score (PRS), identifying individuals at higher risk for prostate cancer. The study was conducted by the Institute of ...

Future studies will track men with high polygenic risk scores to see whether they go on to develop prostate cancer. But it could be years before the spit tests become standard practice due to the ...

Out of 745 men with a high score, 468 were prepared to have the extra tests, and 187 were found to have prostate cancer. Of those that had prostate cancer, 103 had higher risk tumours that needed ...
