Prostate Cancer UK is a prostate cancer research, awareness and support organisation which is a registered charity in England and Wales,[1] as well as in Scotland.[2]

History

[edit]

The organisation was founded in 1996 as The Prostate Cancer Charity by Professor Jonathan Waxman.[3] The charity merged with Prostate Action in 2012 to form the current organisation.

As of 2021, EDF Energy is currently in a partnership with the charity, which will run until December 2022.[4]

Work

[edit]

In 2021, the charity funded a study investigating why black men are twice as likely as other men to develop prostate cancer.[5][6] The charity also launched its Clinical Champions program, where the charity provides funding and training to selected people.[7]
