Free public seminar: improving treatment of prostate cancer

Wednesday, 12 February 2014

Two experts will speak about diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in a free public seminar being held by the at the 成人大片 on Monday 17 February.

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and a common cause of cancer-related death in males. This free public seminar is an opportunity for members of the community to find out the latest information about the often controversial use of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) tests for diagnosis, and new drugs in development which offer some hope for men with aggressive forms of the disease.

The speakers at the public event are:

Associate Professor Anthony Lowe (CEO, Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia): The Great PSA Testing Controversy: Does PSA Testing Do More Harm Than Good?

Associate Professor Ganesh Raj (2014 Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men's Health Visiting Lecturer; Urology Surgeon and Researcher, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center): Drug development - Targeting the critical driver of prostate cancer.

This drug development program is part of a global research collaboration, of which the Adelaide Prostate Cancer Research Centre at the 成人大片 is a member. Their work has been awarded funding from the United States Department of Defense.
