We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

About the project

The growing incidence of prostate cancer in Chinese men suggests the need to develop tools to measure health-related quality of life in Chinese men with prostate cancer.  

The study sample has been recruited from three community-based cancer service centres. Men with prostate cancer were eligible for study participation if they met the following criteria: (1) diagnosed with prostate cancer, (2) are native Cantonese or Mandarin speakers, and (3) having no communication problems.

All eligible men were asked for written informed consent, then were asked to complete a questionnaire. The questionnaires were self-administered. 

This project is being conducted by Dr. Wendy Wing Tak Lam and Professor Richard Fielding of The University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Cancer Fund
