Projects and policies

Why we're here

We're fighting for better treatments, diagnosis, support and prevention.

Best practice in active surveillance

We want all eligible men across the UK to be offered active surveillance to the highest standards.

Multiparametric MRI

Results from the ground breaking research study – PROMIS – show that giving a man an mpMRI scan before biopsy can radically improve the accuracy of prostate cancer diagnosis.

Best practice pathway

We want every man with prostate cancer – or at risk of it - to have access to the same high-quality diagnosis, treatment and care.

Access to drugs

All too often men with prostate cancer are being denied access to new and innovative drugs and treatments. We're working to change this. Find out about our specific drug campaigns here.

Guideline: Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome

We wanted to make sure that information on these common, debilitating conditions was available to health professionals, so we produced guidelines.

Cancer Patient Experience surveys

We've been working to make sure all UK nations are recording cancer patients’ experience of treatment - information which is key to addressing any issues with care.
