Prostate cancer
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, we can provide the information you need, whether you're making a decision about treatment, looking for support or need to understand the basics.
Prostate cancer affects your urinary system. If you're worried about prostate cancer, it's best to first understand the facts.
Knowing the symptoms of prostate cancer is important. We'll help you understand what's happening to your body and explain how prostate cancer is diagnosed.
The main treatments for prostate cancer are watchful waiting, surgery, external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy. Find out what they are and how they work.
Living with prostate cancer can be difficult, but there's help out there. Our 2012 "Supporting Men with Prostate Cancer" conference (register here) takes place at Croke Park on Saturday, November 24th. We can also help you find support and let you know how to stay healthy.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but there are risk factors that can increase your chance of developing the disease. Learn about changes you can make to your lifestyle to reduce your risk of prostate cancer.
