Prostate cancer
All cancer treatments have to be fully researched before they can be used for everyone. This is so we know that they work, they are better than the treatments already available and they are safe.
Researchers around the world are looking into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. They are also looking into whether new treatments are safe and better than those currently available.
Researchers are looking at new ways to screen for and diagnose prostate cancer. They also want to find out more about gene changes that increase your risk of developing prostate cancer.
Before new treatments can be introduced they need to be tested thoroughly. Find out about the latest research into the treatment of prostate cancer.
