Explore the groundbreaking research funded by the Cure for Cancer Foundation, focused on advancing treatments for kidney, bladder, and prostate cancer.
Every year, thousands of individuals receive a diagnosis of kidney, bladder, prostate cancer, significantly impacting their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
By investing in research, we aim to develop more effective treatments and improve the quality of life for patients battling these cancers.
We collaborate with leading research institutions, both nationally and internationally, including Amsterdam UMC hospitals and Johns Hopkins Institute, to leverage expertise and resources in our fight against cancer.
Supporting studies into cutting-edge therapies, including immunotherapy and targeted treatments, to improve survival rates and minimise side effects.
Developing advanced diagnostic tools to identify kidney cancer earlier, increasing the chances of successful treatment.
Pioneering less invasive techniques, such as freezing therapies, which reduce recovery times and improve patient outcomes.
Investigating the long-term effects of kidney cancer treatments to optimise patient care and support.
Developing advanced, non-invasive diagnostic tools to identify bladder cancer earlier, improving treatment outcomes.
Exploring alternative therapies, including new instillations or medications for superficial bladder cancer.
Investigating the effectiveness of immunotherapy to enhance treatment options for bladder cancer patients.
Focusing on the long-term well-being of patients through tailored care strategies and better follow-up protocols.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, with thousands of new cases diagnosed every year. Fortunately, there are many treatment options available and most men with prostate cancer can live long lives despite their diagnosis. However, to ensure the best outcomes and quality of life for patients, early detection, the right treatment at the right time and appropriate follow-up care are needed. Research plays a vital role in improving each step of this process.
At Cure for Cancer, we are committed to advancing kidney cancer research by:
Timing of Diagnosis Detecting prostate cancer at the right time is crucial. Research aims to enhance PSA test accuracy, reducing unnecessary tests for healthy men while ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment for those in need.
We are exploring Transperineal Focal Laser Ablation (TPLA) as a less invasive alternative for treating localised prostate cancer. PSMA PET/CT scans are also being investigated to guide targeted therapies for metastatic cases, aiming to expand options, improve outcomes, and preserve quality of life. Prostate cancers vary in behaviour, from aggressive to slow-growing. Research like PSMA PET/CT scans helps tailor treatments, improving outcomes while avoiding unnecessary procedures. This increases treatment options, improves outcomes and preserves quality of life.
Prostate cancers vary in behavior, from aggressive to slow-growing. Research, such as PSMA PET/CT scans, helps fine-tune treatments, improving outcomes and avoiding unnecessary interventions.
