Last week to apply for our Early Career Fellowship in Prostate Cancer Research!

Our Early Career Fellowship has been created to support outstanding researchers at a pivotal stage in their careers. Designed as a bridge between postdoctoral research and independent leadership, the Fellowship provides the support needed to build a successful long-term research programme.

Successful Fellows will receive:
✅ Protected time to focus on research
✅ Salary support and research funding
✅ Opportunities for professional and leadership development
✅ Access to networks that help foster future collaborations

We're looking for ambitious researchers whose work has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in prostate cancer, from earlier detection and better risk stratification to treatment optimisation and improving quality of life for patients.

Deadline for Applications is October 12th.

"My experience of prostate cancer has been one of real highs and lows. Being told in 2018 that the disease had already spread to my bones was devastating, but my doctors reassured me that I could live well with prostate cancer rather than die from it. With an uncle who died from the disease, a cousin who is unwell with it, and a brother who is also living with it, I know the impact it can have on families. We need better ways to identify men at high risk and detect prostate cancer earlier, and that’s why research, through studies like Prostate Progress, is so important.”

Michael has joined Prostate Progress, our initiative helping researchers better understand prostate cancer to improve future care and support future generations.

If you've had a diagnosis of prostate cancer, you can join Michael by signing up to Prostate Progress. Learn more via the following link: pcr.org.uk/prostate-progress/

Research starts with questions. This week, we brought together the people working to answer them and the people whose lives those answers could change.

Our Meet the Scientist event brought researchers, people affected by prostate cancer and supporters together to discuss the research we’re funding, share experiences and ask questions.

These conversations matter. They give people the opportunity to hear directly from scientists - and researchers the chance to listen to what matters most to people living with prostate cancer.

Thank you to our researchers, everyone who shared their personal experience and the supporters who make this work possible.

Together, we’re working towards a world where people are free from the impact of prostate cancer.

What a day 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Meet the Scientist 2026 - our researchers, people affected by prostate cancer, supporters and colleagues. From roundtable discussions and patient perspectives to conversations about where research could take us next, today has been full of curiosity, connection and shared ambition.

And thank you to Wellcome Collection for hosting us.

We'll be sharing much more from the day soon.

The conversations are at the heart of Meet the Scientist.

Throughout today, people affected by prostate cancer are sitting down with the researchers working to improve diagnosis, treatment and quality of life.

They're asking questions, sharing experiences and helping researchers understand what matters most to patients.

Because research is stronger when the people it's ultimately there to help have a voice in it.

Meet the Scientists 2026 is underway! 🔬

Today we're bringing together researchers, people affected by prostate cancer, supporters and the PCR team for a day of conversation, collaboration and connection.

It's a chance for people affected by prostate cancer to hear directly about the research we're funding - and, just as importantly, for our scientists to hear from them.

We're looking forward to a brilliant day 💙

Early detection saves lives.

We're delighted to be partnering with Nuffield Health for BEYOND-PSA, to improve early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.

Aiming to generate real-world evidence on the use of the Stockholm3 test within a UK clinical pathway, up to 10,000 men are expected to contribute data to the study, generating real-world evidence on the impact of integrating a sophisticated blood test for prostate cancer.

Thank you, Rishi Sunak, for continuing to use your voice to support this initiative and raise awareness as an Ambassador for PCR.

“I was diagnosed with aggressive, locally advanced prostate cancer at the age of 62. Eight months earlier, I’d visited my GP with fatigue and blood pressure issues and asked whether I should have a PSA test, but was reassured it wasn't necessary. He’d performed a DRE examination and assured me that I was fine. Looking back, I wish I’d pushed harder for further checks. My experience has shown me that research isn’t just about finding a cure. It’s about improving diagnosis, making treatment more effective, and encouraging more men to come forward earlier. By joining Prostate Progress, I hope I can play a small part in helping more men seek help earlier and improve the future of prostate cancer care.”
