Over 12,000 men still die from prostate cancer every year in the UK – many of them needlessly. Prostate cancer is a major health challenge, yet vital data is scattered and incomplete. Without the full picture, gaps in care go unnoticed, and researchers waste precious time searching for data that may not exist. As a result, men are often diagnosed too late, miss out on life-saving treatments, and drug discoveries stall – costing lives and blocking progress towards better, more personalised care.

We are building Prostate Progress, a pioneering UK data platform uniting NHS clinical and genetic data with patient-reported outcomes to give a full picture of patients’ health and quality of life. The dataset will show what’s working, what’s not, and where change is most urgently needed. For the first time, researchers will have the missing data to drive faster progress and save lives, and patients can benefit directly through matching to suitable and potentially life-saving clinical trials.
