Help create more places in life-saving clinical trials for men like Stuart.
Right now, only 6 in 100 Australian men impacted by prostate cancer gain entry into clinical trials. That needs to change.

There’s no easy way to tell your family “I have prostate cancer. And it’s stage four.”
Your generous, tax-deductible gift will go towards ensuring more Australian men with deadly forms of prostate cancer, just like Stuart, have access to new clinical trials and expand access to existing ones – trials that could save their lives.
Stuart was a devoted dad and family man. He did everything right – he stayed fit, had regular checkups with his GP, and took pride in his health.
But in 2020, he found himself in a place no father ever wants to be.
Choking back tears, trying to steady his hand, as he prepared to call his children to break the news:
“I have prostate cancer. And it’s stage four.”
In the five years since, Stuart has endured radiation, hormone and chemotherapy, and all their debilitating side effects. And the uncertainty of not knowing how long, or if at all, those treatments will keep him alive.
Scientists are at a turning point in prostate cancer research. In recent years, we’ve seen incredible advancements, like targeted therapies that destroy cancer cells with fewer side effects. Or immunotherapy, which helps the body attack the cancer directly.
These innovations are extremely promising, but there’s a critical problem: not enough men have access to them.
Indeed, there is little doubt that Stuart would be in a very different place today if he’d been enrolled in a clinical trial at an earlier point in time. And unfortunately, it’s a situation facing almost every man living with a deadly form of prostate cancer in Australia today.
It wasn’t more than three years after his diagnosis that Stuart gained access to a clinical trial – the groundbreaking trial of Lutetium-PSMA.
Urgent action is needed right now to make these trials available to more men as possible. Because countless lives depend on it.

No man or his family should have to face the agony of a deadly prostate cancer diagnosis.
But the tragic reality is that 3,901 Australian men lose their lives to the disease every year.
1 in 5 men are likely to be
diagnosed by 85
Around 26,000 men are
diagnosed each year
11 men die each day
from
prostate cancer
Your donation to the Prostate Cancer Future Fund before Monday June 30 will help expand access to groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs and lifesaving treatments, so more men, like Stuart, can benefit from them. Before it’s too late.
Today, Stuart is living proof of why clinical trials must be expanded urgently.
Without access to the cutting-edge medicines only available in clinical trials, thousands of other men will undergo the same harsh traditional treatments that Stuart has faced.
Your donation could make the difference.
