Interesting research from Oxford University, where scientists have found clues that may help us better understand who is at risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer.
The researchers found differences in blood proteins between men who later developed prostate cancer and those who didn't, including some proteins associated with more aggressive forms of the disease.
It's early research, and more work is needed to understand what these findings could mean for future testing and diagnosis.

On average, men in the UK die almost four years earlier than women, often from preventable diseases.
Men often put off looking after their health. From heart health to cancer checks, knowing risks and getting things checked early is important.
And remember, early prostate cancer often has no symptoms at all.
This article is worth a read.

Our friends at Prostate Cancer Research have some good news! Parliament will debate prostate cancer screening on Monday 26th October, following their Proactive for Your Prostate campaign.
More than 100,000 people signed their petition, calling for better access to screening for men at higher risk of prostate cancer.
They're now asking people to contact their MPs ahead of the debate, to encourage them to attend.
