'Prostate cancer checks for men in 40s should be standard if they have family history of the disease'
MEN who have a family history of prostate cancer should be given screening in their forties to catch the disease at an earlier stage, experts have suggested.
They stated that the risk is the same for 41-year-olds as it is for 50-year-olds if at least two close relatives had been diagnosed with the illness, with at least one of the two having been diagnosed at a younger age., also stated that the risk is the same for 43-year-olds who had a father, brother or son diagnosed with the illness before the age of 60.
It followed 6.3 million men and found that those aged 50 had a one in 500 chance of developing serious prostate cancer in the next ten years of their life.
