There has been an exciting development for prostate cancer research in rural areas within the HSE Mid West with Patrick O Donnell, Rose Galvin and Niamh Peters for receiving prestigious funding from Movember to assist with this research.
In Ireland, men 65+ make up nearly 2 in every 3 prostate cancer diagnoses; and men with prostate cancer from rural populations have higher proportions of later-stage cancers. Movember funding to University Hospital of Limerick will gather prostate cancer experiences of men 60+ living in rural areas in Midwest Ireland. Their findings combined with existing research will create solutions to address patient’s unmet needs in prostate cancer care
