“The Talk” Webinar Video
“The Talk” is not about the birds and the bees; it’s about talking to your sons and daughters about possibly inheriting genes that predispose them to prostate and breast cancer. View video.

Genetic Screening for Patients with Prostate Cancer
Todd Morgan shares the unique program that he and his GU team at the University of Michigan have implemented in an effort to gain a better understanding of the genetics and genomics involved with progression in prostate cancer. Watch the video here.
Genetic test identifies very highest risk men for prostate cancer
Researchers devised a genetic test that could identify the top one percent of men at risk of developing prostate cancer. Read the article here.
Expert Discusses Radiation Techniques, Genomic Testing in Prostate Cancer
A discussion of radiation techniques and genomic testing in prostate cancer. Read the article here.
Commercially available liquid biopsy data may be misleading.
A comparison of current commercially available liquid biopsies designed to conduct genetic testing of cDNA as a guide to the selection of drug therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer. Read the article here.
Genomic Testing and Hereditary Prostate Cancer
Prof. Gomella’s lecture is highly informative for the interested prostate cancer patient and prostate cancer advocate. The lecture is approximately 26 minutes long and really brings anyone who has an interest in the topic to a current state. Watch the video here.
Genetic test for BRCA1/2
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are human genes that produce tumor suppressor proteins. Men with harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations have a higher risk of prostate cancer. A Toronto Women’s College Hospital research study, The Screen Project, provides Canadians access to affordable population-based genetic testing for the BRCA gene mutation. Watch the video here.
Leading researchers recommend major change in prostate cancer treatment
Leading American and British cancer researchers are urging that all men with advanced prostate cancer strongly consider being tested for inherited gene mutations — both to help steer their treatment and to alert family members who themselves might be at increased risk for a range of cancers.
