Prostate cancer’s Achilles heel Dr. Mike Cox is looking at how to stop prostate cancer cells from turning cholesterol into testosterone in advanced cancers. Prostate cancer uses testosterone to grow, so stopping its supply could be a way to kill them.
Using the body’s own cells to kill cancer Dr. Ryan Wylie is researching whether immune cells could be used to kill cancer. If he can find a way, then drugs could make prostate cancer a chronic disease treated through medication, like high cholesterol.
More than testosterone Dr. Éric Lévesque is using the latest technological advances to look into the role of male hormones in prostate cancer. The role of testosterone is well studied – but there are many others he is looking at to determine if they have a role as well.
Too old to be treated for prostate cancer? Dr. Shabbir Alibhai is working with older, frailer men to see if daily tracking of their symptoms during treatment can lead to earlier intervention, and ideally help them live better and longer.
Surviving Cancer – now what? Dr. Jennifer Jones has been researching prostate cancer survivorship since 1994. Read her story and watch her speak about her current research. Dr. Jennifer Jones discusses her recent research into prostate cancer survivorship.
Blood markers that predict men who need more treatment Dr. Paul Toren and his team are researching the role of male – and female - hormones in the blood to predict which men would develop resistant cancer sooner.
Prostate Cancer Canada and Movember Foundation announce $4 million in new research funding Three leading Canadian research teams will work to look at ways to predict how well prostate cancer will respond to treatment based on men’s biological markers, specifically in their tumour cells and blood
