Is it a good idea to specify a specific field in your personal statement ?

Dear all,

I am working on my personal statement and just want to have your input is it a good idea to specify a specific interest (ex: GU cancers for me) in your personal statement.

Thanks a lot!

If you have one, definitely ok to. It is even better if you happen to have research in that area and you can tie it all together
