Scientists at Queen's University are part of a global research project

Queen’s researchers are among the 150 from around the world being brought together as part of the Global Action Plan 4 Global Prostate Cancer (GAP4).

It is hoped that by sharing expertise, the Movember Foundation-led programme will aid scientists to improve the life chances of prostate cancer patients. The clinical trial aims to recruit 866 patients across three continents – with leading scientists and clinicians sharing data and biological samples.

The trials will involve men with advanced prostate cancer being placed on a “high intensity exercise regime, tailored to their level of fitness”.
