Scientists of the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) are taking part in an international research consortium studying the genetic risks for prostate cancer. The consortium, a collaboration of 48 institutes worldwide, has now published its latest results. The researchers have discovered seven DNA regions for which an association with an increased prostate cancer risk has now been established for the first time.
