Genetic adjustment of PSA values may reduce unnecessary testing and increase the detection of aggressive #ProstateCancer tumors, according to research presented at #AACR22 Read more here: bit.ly/3jCtwem #MedNews @UCSF @UCSFCancer @Linda_Kachuri

Genetic adjustment of PSA values could improve prostate cancer screening

Prostate cancer screening could be improved through accounting for genetic factors that cause noncancer-related variations in PSA levels, according to study results presented at American Association...

The last chapter of my thesis on genetic risk factors for developing multiple primary tumors is now on @medrxivpreprint! Through #WES data from @uk_biobank and @KPDOR, we identify potential pleiotropic variation in individuals with multiple cancers. @johnwitte @LoriSakoda
