Prostate Cancer UK has today (Monday 26 November) launched its partnership with national event organiser UK Cycling Events, becoming its official charity partner for 2013.

Our campaigner John Snell talks about his experience meeting politicians at the Liberal Democrat party conference in Brighton.

At a Downing Street event last night (Tuesday 13th November) hosted for Prostate Cancer UK, Samantha Cameron spoke of her support of the fight against the disease predicted to become the most common cancer overall by 2030.

An influential coalition of leading cancer charities, led by Prostate Cancer UK, has criticised the government for shutting patients out of crucial talks on changes to the UK-wide system for pricing and assessing new drugs. The cancer charities warn that ignoring the views of patients risks seriously undermining the credibility and effectiveness of the new system before it has even been established.

Researchers, funded by Prostate Cancer UK and the Medical Research Council (MRC), believe they have discovered an entirely new way of slowing the growth of prostate cancer. The findings, published today in Disease Models and Mechanisms, could lead to new and more highly targeted treatments for the disease in the future.

Today, Prostate Cancer UK has announced the establishment of a £4.5 million action plan to help the hundreds of thousands of men living with prostate cancer survive the disease and enjoy a better quality of life. Made possible by funds raised through the Movember Foundation ‘A Survivorship Action Partnership’ (ASAP UK) represents the UK’s most significant investment in prostate cancer survivorship to date.

On this, the first day of Movember 2012, Prostate Cancer UK would like to thank its Mo Bros and Mo Sistas for their mo-vellous support so far. Prostate Cancer UK is the main beneficiary partner of Movember in the UK - in 2011 we received £15 million of funding from Movember.
