Researchers receive Movember Discovery Grant: Findings could lead to new diagnostic tool

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in Canadian men, but some men may have a type of the disease that doesn't require aggressive treatment.

As part of a Movember Discovery Grant from Prostate Cancer Canada, University of Calgary researchers are trying to understand indolent (dormant) prostate cancer better, in hopes of developing a test to differentiate dormant versus aggressive disease upon initial diagnosis. Dormant prostate cancer is not aggressive and does not spread, thereby making it less of an immediate threat than aggressive prostate cancer. Read more here.
