Concordance of Non-Low-Risk Disease Among Pairs of Brothers With Prostate Cancer.
Conclusion Non-low-risk prostate cancer has a heritable pattern suggesting shared genetic factors, with the highest concordance among monozygotic twins. Our results suggest that a man whose brother has been diagnosed with a non-low-risk prostate cancer is at a clinically relevant increased risk of developing an aggressive prostate cancer himself.
