Participate In External Research
We occasionally receive requests for help in recruiting men with prostate cancer for research studies
- The first one is based at the Royal Marsden Hospital, and is looking for men who have a family history of prostate cancer.
- The second one is nationwide, and is is looking for men aged between 40 and 69 years, who have been tested for either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
- The third is based at University College London, where they are assessing the use of photodynamic therapy for prostate cancer.
- The fourth is based at University College London Hospitals NHS Trust, where they are High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Focal Ablation in Prostate Cancer.
- The fifth is based at Cambridge, Clatterbridge, Guildford, Hammersmith, Hull, Leeds, Manchester, Mount Vernon, Nottingham, Preston, Royal Marsden, where they are evaluating Randomised phase III trial of docetaxel +/- GVAX.
Please read the information first and then contact the Lead Researchers, not The Prostate Cancer Charity, for further details if you think any study might be right for you.
For information on what taking part in a clinical trial involves, visit our clinical trials page.
Please note: As a matter of principle we are keen to encourage men to take part in clinical trials and research, as men may benefit from the extra attention that being in a trial confers. However, the presence of information about a study on this web site does not constitute a recommendation to take part in this particular study.
We have no connection with the research other than bringing it to your attention. It is up to you to decide whether it is the right thing for you and we suggest that you talk to your own medical team for advice.
If you are a researcher, and want to advertise your project on this page, please contact Debbie Clayton
