ERADICATE exercise trial to improve tumour perfusion alongside radiotherapy for prostate cancer patients
The ERADICATE exercise trial aims to increase the flow of oxygen to the prostate tumour alongside radiotherapy.
How does physical activity lower the risk of cancer?
This research, funded by WCRF International, looks at how our genetics affect immunity, hormones and metabolism, and how these affect activity
Dairy and plant foods, and advanced prostate cancer
Calcium, fruit and vegetable intakes were not associated with risk of advanced prostate cancer in this research

Improving cognitive impairment in survivors of prostate cancer
How does physical activity, cognitive training, or a combination of the two help improve fatigue, memory and thinking in men on hormone treatment
Impact of dietary energy restriction and exercise on prostate cancer patients
This study will use a newly method to compare the impact of eating less food versus daily exercise on muscle, prostate, and prostate tumour growth responses
Identifying which nutrients may cause or protect against prostate cancer
Our research hypothesises that folate, vitamin B12, & iron may increase cancer risk; selenium, vitamin D, E & lycopene may protect against

MYEX exercise trial for patients with prostate cancer
Investigating tumour suppressive biological mechanisms is important in clinical oncology to expand exercise medicine and further confirm the prescription of exercise as essential for cancer patients.

Selenium and the prostate: clinical trials on availability to prostate tissue and effects on gene expression
Ellen Kampman’s study showed that selenium is able to induce changes in the expression of a number of genes in the prostate
Vitamin D and prostate cancer
Richard Martin and his team observed an association between vitamin D and more aggressive cancers

Chronic platelet activation – a major link between diet, lifestyle and cancer risk?
We’re funding the first comprehensive prospective study on chronic platelet activation in healthy subjects and subsequent cancer risk
Helping prostate cancer survivors in disadvantaged areas
