Funded Activity Summary

There is considerable uncertainty about which treatments lead to better outcomes for men with prostate cancer and whether treatment is always necessary. This project will compare different treatment options for prostate cancer, including active surveillance, to determine which offers the best chance of survival and least harm to men’s physical and mental wellbeing. It will also explore whether some men who do not receive active treatment (healthy older men) would benefit if they did.
