Research and clinical trials for prostate cancer
All cancer treatments have to be fully researched before they can be used for everyone. This is so we know that they work, they are better than the treatments already available and they are safe.
Researchers around the world are looking into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. They are also looking into whether new treatments are safe and better than those currently available.
Go to Cancer Research UK’s clinical trials database if you are looking for a trial for prostate cancer in the UK. You need to talk to your specialist if there are any trials that you think you might be able to take part in.
