The Prostate Cancer Research Program undertakes epidemiological and psychosocial research to improve health outcomes for men and their families and reduce the impact of prostate cancer in our community.  This includes research on individual and community attitudes and behaviours with regards to the early detection of prostate cancer in the community; and supportive care from diagnosis of cancer onwards for both men and their families.
