    Situation

    Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the UK and yet a lack of research funding means new treatments fall far behind other cancers. At the early stages hormone treatment slows the growth of the cancer but too often stops working. Surgery can leave too many men with life changing issues of incontinence and impotence. At the advanced stage which, is now affecting more men, a lack of treatments means more men are dying. We want a better outcome for men.

    Solution

    Our team of experts, understanding of patients needs and gaps in the research landscape mean we are supporting 12 innovative research projects that can make the most difference to men with prostate cancer. Our research hopes to find new treatments that can reduce morbidity, increase survival rates and improve the quality of life for men with prostate cancer. Only 5% of all UK cancer spend in the UK is spent on prostate cancer, we want to change this so new treatments are available sooner.
