Story

Join our amazing team of runners in one of the most enjoyable half marathons this year taking in all the best sights of London.

Places are £50 to register with a commitment to raise at least £350 in sponsorship. The event target of £20,000 will be used to raise awareness of (and to increase access to) newer minimally invasive focal treatment options for men with prostate cancer. This means minimal side effects so men continue their lives after treatment without affecting lifestyle outcomes.

Ping me on paul.sayer@prost8.org.uk or call 07946 511176 if you would like to apply.

What is Focal Treatment for Prostate Cancer?

In the next 10 years alone, a staggering 500,000 men will receive a new prostate cancer diagnosis in the UK. Up to 160,000 of these men will have low to medium grade, treatable cancer and could benefit from newer, cutting edge, minimally invasive treatments, called focal therapy. BUT, incredibly, right now, almost all of those men will only be offered the same invasive, lifestyle-changing treatments as men with advanced cancers.

Focal therapy uses the very latest technology to treat early-stage cancer cells without harming surrounding tissue and organs. This means minimal side effects so these men can continue their lives after prostate cancer with normal lifestyle functionality. More invasive treatments will usually lead to incontinence and erectile dysfunction, the chances of which are dramatically reduced with focal treatments.

Prost8 UK is campaigning to make overtreatment of prostate cancer a thing of the past for men with medium-grade or recurrent disease. The NHS needs to expand deployment of new focal treatments such as ultrasound or cryotherapy faster. We aim to lead the way by donating treatment suites to the NHS.
