Active Surveillance

Our innovation events bring together experts and members of the prostate cancer care community to discuss the latest innovations and projects. You’ll get the chance to ask questions, chat to your peers, and hear about the exciting changes happening in the field of active surveillance. We'll hear from experts, as well as from men who have experience of being on active surveillance.

This event will take place online on Friday 19 May, 12:00 - 1:30pm.

Agenda

Patient voices

We’ll be joined by two men who’ll be sharing their experiences of active surveillance.

There will be time for Q&A after each of our speakers so you can ask any questions.
