Wake Forest Researchers Find Genetic Link to Prostate Cancer.
Published: October 15, 2003
Some men may be more prone to prostate cancer because a variation in a specific gene makes them more susceptible
to the harmful effects of cancer-causing agents, a new study shows. The results of the study led by Wake Forest University
School of Medicine researcher Jianfeng Xu, Ph.D. are published in the British Journal of Cancer.
