Black men are more likely than their White or Asian counterparts to have a range of genetic changes that increase their risk of developing prostate cancer, a major new study reports.

Members of the ICR’s Discovery Club were given an exclusive insight into how researchers sample, process and analyse tumour cells in the lab, as part of the ICR’s first virtual event for our donors.

A first-of-its-kind study in the UK is aiming to solve the mystery of why black men develop prostate cancer at twice the rate of other men in the UK.
