We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

What we seek to achieve

The Danish Prostate Cancer Project seeks to improve the understanding of the natural history of prostate cancer disease, and thereby help improve clinical decision-making and the medical management of men with prostate cancer. We will achieve this by collecting nationwide clinical data and identify factors and outcomes that have major impact on the lives of men with prostate cancer.

About the project

Utilising the Danish Prostate Cancer Database and other nationwide registries four distinct studies will be undertaken:  

  1. What do Danish men with prostate cancer die of - their cancer disease or other causes?
  2.  What quality-of-life parameters (collected directly from patients) are representative of overall quality-of-life following diagnosis with prostate cancer?
  3. What is the impact of obesity and diabetes on prostate cancer disease severity and survival?
  4. What is the risk of depression, suicide and poor quality-of-life following diagnosis with prostate cancer?
The Danish project combines the fields of medicine (urology), cancer epidemiology, biostatistics and medical informatics to create scientific evidence and knowledge that can be used to improve the lives of men with prostate cancer.
The Danish Prostate Cancer Project is governed by the Dept. of Urology, Aarhus University Hospital in collaboration with Aarhus University Graduate School of Health.
