A team of local and international scientists have identified what it calls ‘genetic signatures’ they believe can help explain why men from some ethnic backgrounds are more prone to ProstateCancer.

The researchers from South Africa, Brazil and Britain, used a process called whole-genome sequencing to map the genetic code of cancer cells.The findings show that men of African descent have more than double the chance of succumbing to prostate cancer than men from other race groups.

University of Pretoria Professor, Riana Bornman, an international expert in men’s health and clinical lead for the Southern African Prostate Cancer Study in South Africa elaborates, “Men of African descent have a higher risk of prostate cancer compared to western population and this has indication if we want to consider the ancestral consideration of treating prostate cancer. This means that we could have African specific treatment developing for African men and not rely on Western results.
