Funding research and education to beat prostate disease
What we do
Prostate Action aims to beat prostate disease. We fund cutting-edge research into all prostate diseases. We fund education and have trained over 3,000 medical professionals. We fund support groups. We will beat prostate disease, once and for all.
Research
Prostate Action funds research into all three prostate diseases – benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer and prostatitis. The research we fund tackles holes in our knowledge, explores new treatment options and investigates prevention. Increasing our knowledge of prostate disease is the only way we are going to beat it.
For more information on current research projects Prostate Action is funding and has funded in the past, please visit our research pages.
Every two years, we convene an international summit meeting of the world’s foremost prostate cancer specialists and researchers, called the Forum. Its purpose is to close the large gaps in available medical knowledge and accelerating the research effort.
Interested specialists from all over the world attend to exchange information, ideas and suggestions and appraise colleagues of the latest available research.
Please visit our Forum page for more information.
Education
Through our Masterclass programme, Prostate Action has trained over 3,000 medical professionals in the latest advances in treating prostate disease. Visit the Masterclasses page for more information.
We fund training grants for medical professionals so they may train in the latest advances in treating prostate disease and learn to use the cutting edge technology, such as the da Vinci robot.
Support
We help fund aspects of the Prostate Cancer Support Federation. Funding secured by Prostate Action allows the Federation to provide conferences to men and their families on all aspects of prostate cancer, including new developments in research.
We have part-funded the UK’s first nurse dedicated to helping men with advanced prostate cancer.
