Precision Medicine in the Prostate Cancer Care Pathway: an Evaluation of Integrating Germline Genetic Testing Into the Management of Men at Risk of / Living With Prostate Cancer
This study aims to evaluate the use of a prostate cancer specific predisposition genetic panel test in men with / at high risk of prostate cancer. The genetic test will analyse men's DNA samples for the presence of mutations in rare genes as well as common genetic variation to provide men with information about their risk of prostate cancer. This study will evaluate the clinical impact of the test on risk assessment and clinical management in terms of screening and treatment.
∙ Affected cohort:

‣ two or more cases in family with one case \< 70
⁃ three or more cases any age (FDR or SDR)
∙ Unaffected cohort:
∙ Aged \>30 and with a family history defined as:
