The Real Face of Men’s Health report

We all have partners, fathers, brothers, sons, and buddies that we love. When these men are well, the benefits ripple through relationships, families, and communities. But when these men are unwell and unsupported, we all feel it. Our recent campaign – The Real Face of Men’s Health – reminds us of the many reasons to care about men’s health. FIND OUT MORE

Testicular cancer trial edges closer to important findings

We’re proud to support the TIGER trial – a major international initiative involving research teams from the US, Europe and Australia. This trial seeks to better understand the biology and treatment options for men who have undergone chemotherapy for testicular cancer, but whose cancer has returned – a rare outcome of an already rare disease.

Last year, we celebrated a significant milestone: the recruitment of 420 men and boys from across the US, Europe and Australia. The trial is now in the “follow-up” phase, where we monitor how these guys fare with treatment over time. FIND OUT MORE

We're partnering with the global leaders in sexual health

All prostate cancer treatments have sexual side effects, impacting quality of life, relationships and mental health. Together with the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM), we're tackling these problems head-on, with resources, training, and toolkits designed to improve the standard of sexual health care for men with prostate cancer. These resources are currently available to thousands of clinicians worldwide. FIND OUT MORE
