Funded Activity Summary

Approximately 22,000 Australian men alive today have advanced prostate cancer. By comparison to men with localised prostate cancer, men with advanced disease report higher levels of psychological distress and poorer quality of life, and have an increased risk of suicide. This study will trial a remote access mindfulness-based cognitive therapy intervention aimed at improving mental health outcomes and wellbeing for men with advanced prostate cancer.
