This week we hear from Professor Renea Taylor, Dr Edmond Kwan, Dr David Pook and Associate Professor Mitch Lawrence. They provided an insight into the amazing world leading work that the team at the Monash University Prostate Cancer Research Group is doing, to ensure improving outcomes for men with prostate cancer. They are developing more precise approaches to diagnosis, treatment selection, and disease monitoring. The sad news that prostate cancer is becoming more prevalent in men under 55 years of age was a sobering thought for us all.The team’s world leading work is also investigating blood tests that are identifying DNA markers for more than just prostate cancer but other cancers also enabling more targeted interventions.
Since our Club began the fundraising relationship with the Team in 2022 our 5 Golf Days have raised over $166,000 and the $80,000 of funds raised in 2025 and 2026 is being targeted at a Global Grant that will hopefully see it expand to $174,000 to provide vital equipment to support their world leading work.
