A review by Cambridge researchers argues that not only is this unhelpful, but it may even deter men from coming forward for early testing and detection of a potentially treatable cancer.
Inspired by clinical experience during her rotation year, CRUK Cambridge Centre PhD student Samantha Hodder, along with teammates Daniel Valentine and Alex Hung, have recently come third in Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow Competition.
