Thank you Rosie .
It’s important to stay positive on the topic of cancer. While rising life expectancy is leading to more people having cancer, improved treatments mean that a larger proportion are cured, or at least survive long term .
There is further good news in that the US Supreme Court recently ruled that human genes cannot be patented. This should allow clinical laboratories to perform the tests for BRCA1 and BRCA2 more cheaply, and guidelines governing tests on the NHS could be relaxed.
Prostate cancer may affect a similar proportion of males to that of females developing breast cancer. Members may therefore be interested in a new separate thread on this topic.
