The Sir Chris Hoy Effect | Why family history matters
About this episode
Legendary British cyclist Sir Chris Hoy (48) recently shocked the world by announcing that he has progressive metastatic prostate cancer. His specialists have given him a 2-4 year life expectancy. The dreadful news that no prostate cancer patient wants to hear.
Today, hosts Prof Declan Murphy and Dr Renu Eapen welcome their good mates A/Prof Ben Challacombe (Guy's Hospital, London), and A/Prof Daniel Moon (Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne) to the GU Cast studio, and patient advocate Andrei Norris who joins on Zoom to discuss the huge publicity this has generated, and the importance of family history in assessing men's risk of prostate cancer.
