UK scientists for cancer research claim that they have acknowledged seven new genetic variants that add to the factors related to the Prostate Cancer. The findings were made public by the Nature Genetics journal.

Research also claimed if any person has these new genetic variants then the chances are increased up to 25%.

Prof. Ros Eeles from the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London commented that they have already found more that 40 areas that contributes in increasing the chances of the Prostate cancer.

The figures show that as compared to the average person, 1% of the men who have all these variants, increase their chances by four times. The figures also prove that the disease has even gone beyond the statics of the lung cancer patients.

Dr. Kate Holmes, Research Manager at the Prostate Cancer Charity, added, “Even though study does not contain any ultimate results but there is an extremely useful foundation has been created which will surely make us able to calculate the relationship between the genetic levels and the increased risk followed by a tool which is commonly used for predicting breast cancer risk. This tool will prove to be very helpful for the Prostate Cancer patients”.
