It is critical prostate cancer research gets the attention and funding it deserves, and so we are investing in the researchers of tomorrow.

Research is a not a short-term investment. It is a long, challenging process and requires skills and experience to succeed. It is critical prostate cancer research gets the attention and funding it deserves, and so, in partnership with Prostate Cancer UK, we are continuing to invest in research projects, focusing on the following key areas: effectively identifying those men more at risk, detecting the aggressiveness of the disease and developing more effective treatments, in particular for more aggressive types of prostate cancer.

Movember funds are allowing students to pursue their passion for research with prostate cancer-specific PhD programmes, and providing those researchers further along in their career with fellowships to help them specialise within the field of prostate cancer. Your fundraising efforts have also helped fund a number of strategic initiatives, which tackle some of the wider challenges in prostate cancer research such as collaboration and innovation. These programmes, amongst others, are working towards immediate research goals over the next few years. But they are also investments into the future of prostate cancer research, bringing more experts into the field and ensuring our researchers have all the tools and opportunities necessary to step up the battle against prostate cancer.

Here are some research projects that your fundraising has helped make possible:
