On Wednesday 10th November 2010 the Federation organised an workshop for members to learn about, and discuss, prostate matters. On this occasion the theme was “patients' involvement in prostate cancer research” and the main topic was the RISKMAN Risk-based Screening Trial, in which the Federation is playing a leading role, both in organising the trial itself, and in organising initial funding.
In addition we had presentations updating delegates on recent areas of research known to be of concern to prostate cancer patients, covering: the James Lind Alliance Prostate Cancer Priority Setting Programme, whose final result will be published this Autumn; recent developments in imaging; latest research into dietary issues for prostate cancer.
