“When my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer I felt powerless.”

“I think everybody believes they’re going to live forever, even though they know they won’t. Nobody wants to be told, as I was last year, that they have five to seven years to live.”

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, and rates are on the rise. By 2030 there’ll be 1.7 million men living with prostate cancer. It’s already killing hundreds of thousands of men each year, and those who survive face serious side effects.
We can’t afford to let this continue.
So we’re taking action.
We’ve spent years learning how to tackle the toughest cancer challenges in innovative ways. Now it's time to draw a line in the sand.
By 2030 we’ll halve the number of men dying from prostate cancer.
We'll also halve the number of men facing serious ongoing side effects from prostate cancer treatment.
“I'd like to imagine my son growing up in a world where prostate cancer can be cured. In a world where the way Dad freely talked about his health and his regular health checks isn’t unique, but the norm.”

This is how we’re going to win the fight.
Cancer research and care is full of difficult problems, but we’ve never been afraid of a challenge. We’ve spent years funding the most innovative and forward-thinking projects, getting the best researchers together to tackle the thorniest issues.
We’re focused on what works for men. From early detection through to diagnosis, treatment, and support: we’re not just looking for a cure. We’re looking for quality of life.
The plan of attack
1. Taking action early
Helping men know the signs, symptoms and risk factors for prostate cancer.
2. Bright minds brought together
We’re bringing the best minds from around the world together to collaborate.
3. Tackling biology
Increasing the knowledge of the most lethal prostate cancer tumours, and how to slow or stop its progression.
4. Reducing side effects
No matter where they are in the world, men and their families and carers must have access to services and support.
5. Affordable treatment
We’re influencing governments to provide affordable treatment and to get new treatments into practice faster.
6. Tailored treatments, precision care
Personalised treatment is the new frontier of cancer research. From distinguishing between harmless and lethal cancers, to taking into account genes, lifestyle and environment: it means a better outcome for men.
7. Helping men make tough choices
Men need the right info to understand their diagnosis and make an informed decision when it comes to treatment.
8. Raising the standard
We’re identifying excellence in prostate cancer treatment and care, to reduce the number of men who aren’t getting the best outcome possible.
9. Global initiatives
Our three largest investments in prostate cancer are global programs that will mean better outcomes for men everywhere.
