According to news, Family history remains one of the best ways to identify people at high risk for breast, prostate and colon cancer, and now new research suggests that updating your doctor between ages 30 and 50 about any close relatives who develop these cancers may lead to lifesaving changes in how and when you are screened.
Massachusetts General Hospital Biostatistics Center in Boston study author Dianne M. Finkelstein said that, family history is very important and it can give individuals a sense of whether they are at elevated risk for certain types of cancers, and this could impact how they are screened.
If anyone in your family gets cancer, you should know the age when they were diagnosed and the original site of the cancer, Dianne M. Finkelstein added.
Dianne M. Finkelstein also said that, if you are 35, and there is no one with cancer in your family and then you go back to your doctor and your older brother is diagnosed with colon cancer. This information changes the doctor's strategy with respect to colon cancer screening and they may find any cancer earlier, which may change the outcome.
In the future, family history should become a routine part of the intake process, Dianne M. Finkelstein added.

An active sex life makes the men live for long only if they are loyal and faithful to their spouse, found in a new research.
Italian medical researchers have found that a healthy sex life leads to fewer cardiovascular problems for men.
"What was evident from the research was that men who had active sex lives and were faithful to their partners had fewer cardiovascular complaints and lived longer," the Telegraph quoted Emmanuele Jannini, coordinator of the research, as saying.
Jannini says that the study has showed that the men who were unfaithful had a poor cardiovascular performance because they were “also coping with the increased stress of their infidelity.”
She says that a risen amount of testosterone produced during sex was good for men because it burned off excess sugars and reduced the risk of heart disease.
“People who have diabetes especially benefit from healthy sex life and an active sex life also helps avoid prostate problems for men, she says.
The study carried out by “The Italian Society of Sexual Medicine.”

An active sex life is the key to a longer life for men only if they are faithful to their partners, a new research has found.
Italian medical researchers have found that a healthy sex life means fewer cardiovascular problems for men.
"What was evident from the research was that men who had active sex lives and were faithful to their partners had fewer cardiovascular complaints and lived longer," the Telegraph quoted Emmanuele Jannini, coordinator of the research, as saying.
"Increased sexual activity produces more testosterone, which leads to less depression and a better cardiovascular performance which means an improved metabolism," said Jannini.
Jannini said the study has revealed that those who were unfaithful had a poor cardiovascular performance because they were "also coping with the increased stress of their infidelity."
She said that an increased amount of testosterone produced during sex was good for men because it burned off excess sugars and reduced the risk of heart disease.
"People who have diabetes especially benefit from a healthy sex life and an active sex life also helps avoid prostate problems for men," she added.
