14% of 55-69 men with polygenic risk scores (PRS) in the top 10% had prostate cancer classified as intermediate or higher risk, a higher percentage than would have been identified using PSA or MRI screening. This seems like a strong argument for integrating polygenic risk scores

A simple at-home spit test may be more accurate at detecting prostate cancer than the current prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, new NIHR-funded research suggests. NIHR Royal Marsden BRC with @ICRLondon and CRF 🔗 nihr.ac.uk/news/home-spit…

Done my first oral presentation #CaPRI2025 🧬Combining the PSA and Genetic Risk Scores (GRS) model to predict PCa is better than PSA or GRS alone! APEx (also on Blue Sky)
