((you're watching 8 news now at noon.)) ((brian loftus)) researchers in seattle ce surprising findings: men may be at a higher risk for developing advanced prostate cancer if women in their family have had female cancers like ovarian or breast. martie salt has the details. ("hi good morning mr. dudley. how are you doing?" "i'm great. how are you?") reverend william dudley first got a tough diagnosis back in 2008. having prostate cancer was a huge shock, since he didn't feel sick. rev. william dudley "it was just my doctor thought she needed to do the exam. that age." he started treatment right away, but four years later the cancer had spread. some of it was in his back. he needed surgery or he might not be able to walk again. rev. william dudley "they cleaned out the cancer. they put a rod in and three screws. and then from there i won't say i had to learn to walk again but i had to learn to walk again." reverend dudley's family has a history of cancer. and now a the seattle cancer care alliance shows a surprising genetic link. heather cheng, md, phd director of prostate cancer genetics clinic seattle cancer care alliance "this is a big surprising finding and it's new. it involves many of the same genes that are involved in breast and ovarian cancer risk." in the study of nearly 700 men with advanced prostate cancer, they found almost 12 percent had inherited cancer risk genes that likely contributed to their cancer. some of those same genes like brca (brack-ah) one and two that contribute to breast cancer also affect men. because of the ways these genes were first identified with families that have breast and ovarian cancer, it fell through the cracks a little bit in the importance to men in those families." (:10) doctors say it's important for family members to share that history with each other and their doctors because early detection is key to winning the fight against cancer. i'm martie salt, reporting.
