Finger length linked to prostate cancer
Scientists in the UK say that men who have an index finger which is longer than their ring finger appear to be at a reduced risk of developing prostate cancer.
The findings have been published in the British Journal of Cancer, and are the result of a study by scientists at the University of Warwick and the Institute of Cancer Research.
One of the lead authors, Professor Ros Eeles, spoke to Owen Bennett-Jones on BBC World Service.
