Welcome to the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation website
We aim to fund the best independent worldwide research into the causes of prostate cancer; to offer better outcomes to men diagnosed with prostate cancer and to enable all specialists to share information.
We have funded independent research since 1998, and have been involved with a number of breakthroughs, including discovering that differences in men's immune systems can have a bearing on developing prostate cancer.
