Finding new ways to fight urological cancers - 20% of all new cancers diagnosed will be urological cancers. They will affect men and women, the young and the old alike. Sadly, a large burden falls on men – cancers of the prostate and testes – while cancers of the kidney and the bladder affect both men and women. Urological cancers need to recover from years of underfunding - kidney and bladder cancers - have suffered in particular

There is a lot of work for UCARE still to do however, not just in funding the research that will help us understand and treat these complex diseases, but finding the tools to raise awareness and to help people to identify the early symptoms - as early diagnosis saves lives. As one of the less fashionable causes to support, some of these cancers are embarrassing and difficult to talk about – particularly the ones that affect men. We aim to find new ways to remove this stigma.
