Novel Endocrine Approaches to Diagnosis & Treatment of Men with Prostate Cancer [ 2016 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Gail Risbridger (Principal investigator)

Brief description Most men are diagnosed with localised prostate cancer, others have advanced disease. Vision: Identify how tumours are insignificant vs aggressive (Aim 1.1 & 1.2). Predict which tumours will progress to incurable disease (Aim 1.3) and how to target them (Aim 1.4). Discover how each patient tumour is different (Aim 2.1) and pre-clinically test new therapies (Aim 2.2). Outcomes: practice changing discoveries that identify novel therapeutic targets & biomarkers improving diagnosis and treatment.
