DNA test, which takes seconds to collect, can detect men at high risk and spare others unnecessary treatment

The number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer worldwide is projected to double to 2.9 million a year by 2040, with annual deaths predicted to rise by 85%. It is already the most common form of male cancer in more than 100 countries.
