"It’s great to hear from the experts on the front line about the research and the medical advances being made and the real difference this can make to men with prostate cancer, like me. It makes me feel positive for the future."
Upcoming webinars
From Ideas to Impact: Putting new treatments in the hands of men
What's it about?
We’ll be joined by Professor Johann de Bono, Dr Alec Paschalis and Dr Adam Sharp, whose innovative clinical trial is testing a new way to prevent treatment resistance in prostate cancer. This could help treatments keep working for longer - meaning men live longer, better lives.
When's it happening?
Tuesday 7 October 2025, 7pm-8:15pm (Live on Zoom)
Who will I hear from?
Simon Grieveson, Assistant Director of Research, Prostate Cancer UK
Simon has been with Prostate Cancer UK for over 10 years. Before joining us, he worked for the National Institute for Health and Care Research. Simon is responsible for overseeing the delivery of our research strategy, ensuring that we’re funding vital research that will improve how we diagnose and treat prostate cancer. His current focus is getting the TRANSFORM study up and running, the biggest screening trial in 20 years.

Catch up with some of our recent research webinars below.
July 2025: From Ideas to Impact – Giving men more time for what matters.
This webinar explored how we are using the PACE-NODES clinical trial to advance radiotherapy. This could lead to fewer men’s cancer coming back, with fewer treatment sessions needed.
We heard from three researchers who are leading the project from the Institute of Cancer Research, and a man living with advanced cancer who wants to see treatments such as this lengthening & improving men’s lives.

March 2025: From Ideas to Impact - Rewriting the script on aggressive prostate cancer.
This webinar shared how cutting-edge technology could be used to direct cancer cells to ignore instructions written in their DNA that tell them to grow quickly. This could open the door for new treatments to slow aggressive prostate cancer, helping men live longer, healthier lives.
We heard from three researchers leading the project from Newcastle University, as well as a couple who shared the impact of prostate cancer on their lives, and their determination to live life to the fullest.

November 2024: From Ideas to Impact - Navigating prostate cancer risk factors with genetics.
This webinar explored how a combination of genetic data and artificial intelligence (AI) could predict if a man is likely to develop prostate cancer, and how aggressive the cancer might be. This innovative research could lead to improved detection, personalised treatments, and potential ways to prevent the spread of prostate cancer.
We heard from three researchers who are leading the project from the Institute of Cancer Research and the University of East Anglia, and twin brothers who’ve both experienced prostate cancer brought their invaluable insights to the discussion.

March 2024: From Ideas to Impact - How to improve MRI.
This webinar revealed how advances in imaging are revolutionising the way we diagnose prostate cancer, and how developing MRI scans that are faster, cheaper and less invasive, could enable more men to get an earlier, more accurate diagnosis.
We heard from three researchers leading the project from University College London, and a man with lived experience of prostate cancer shared his enlightening story.

November 2023: From Ideas to Impact - New approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
This webinar explored groundbreaking new approaches that are being developed to diagnose and treat prostate cancer.
We heard from a researcher at the University of Birmingham who’s using sugars to diagnose aggressive prostate cancer, and a researcher at Ulster University who’s developing microscopic bubbles to deliver cancer-targeting drugs to the prostate. A man with lived experience of prostate cancer also shared his personal journey, emphasising the importance of men knowing their risk.

“A very well organised webinar with the right balance of personal experience, research updates and projects in pipeline.”
