A British father has made medical history by having his healthy prostate removed after discovering that he carries a defective gene that boosts his risk of cancer, it was reported last night.
The businessman?s increased risk of cancer through the BRCA2 gene is believed to have come to light when he took part in a trial at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London.
He entered the trial because he has relatives who have suffered from breast or prostate cancer in the past.
