At just 50, Paul had no symptoms, no warning signs, and no reason to think anything was wrong.

At just 50, Paul had no symptoms, no warning signs, and no reason to think anything was wrong.

But a routine blood test revealed prostate cancer was there, and that it had already spread.

Now aged 57, after undertaking surgery and countless rounds of treatments, it’s continuing to spread.

“We knew that it was elsewhere and that confirmed it, but it wasn't showing up on the PET scan. Bloods tell us that it's there, we just don't know where. So that's pretty much been the story of my life the last five or so years.” said Paul.

That’s the reality of this disease.

A disease that spreads silently, adapts biologically, and often reveals itself only when it has advanced beyond easy control.

But what if prostate cancer cells that have been previously missed by existing scanning technology can be identified and treated more rapidly?

You can help make it happen.

Your donation will fund a ground-breaking project to transform how we detect and treat prostate cancer.

“The project brings together experts in nuclear medicine, medical oncology, radiochemistry, artificial intelligence, genomics and consumer advocacy, united by a single ambition: to move beyond managing prostate cancer toward more precise, effective and potentially curative treatments.” said Professor Hofman.

Your support can help find new ways to identify hidden prostate cancer cells, harnessing full-body PET/CT imaging and new nuclear medicines to destroy deadly prostate cancer, minimising harm to the patient. 

Our vision is bold – and we can’t do it without you.

Help finish the fight we started, to end prostate cancer.

No man or his family should have to face the agony of a deadly prostate cancer diagnosis.

But the tragic reality is that nearly 4,000 Australian
men lose their lives to the disease every year.

1 in 5 men are likely to be
diagnosed in their lifetime

Nearly 29,000 men are
diagnosed each year

11 men die each day
from
prostate cancer

“This project will not only advance existing treatment methods – it will complete them.”
