And prostate cancer? Both in the latest available data (2021) and 7-yrs (2014-2021) prostate cancer accounts for the highest registrations (all genders). Cancer: The high-profile Kiwis who have publicly shared their diagnoses, via @nzherald https://t.co/LstrOcz1LO

There hasn't been a new therapeutic treatment [for #prostatecancer funded in almost 10 years, while overseas, they are about two generations of medicine ahead of us. https://t.co/NFGMqIgeL6

If you agree, like Kristine, that our men deserve a prostate cancer early detection programme you've got 7 weeks before the election to lobby your local politicians. #earlydetectionsaveslives #prostatecancernz

We invited Prof. Van Poppel to present to a NZ audience in 2022 and we were inspired. Aotearoa absolutely needs to be echoing the PRAISE-U project and trialling organised, population-based screening in the NZ context now. @prostatenz #earlydetectionsaveslives #prostatecancer

[Hein Van Poppel @heinvanpoppel]

Prostate cancer does not receive the policy attention it deserves. Please share this short testimonial for the PRAISE-U project and encourage others to participate in this important initiative. Let’s add Prostate Cancer to the table on men’s health policy.

A fantastic effort everybody!

[ProstateCancerNZ @prostatenz]

A momentus day. The 30,500 signature petition has been handed over, received by @NZNationalParty's Gerry Brownlee. But the work continues, to get a pilot #prostatecancer screening programme underway. #earlydetectionsaveslives

[Peter Dickens @DickensP9]

Join us this Thursday at noon on the steps of parliament!

[ProstateCancerNZ @prostatenz]

To all 30,317 of you who signed Kristine Hayward's petition calling for a centrally funded and administered early #prostatecancer detection strategy - thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🙏💙 If you can, please join us in presenting it to Parliament on Thursday.

[Peter Dickens @DickensP9]

@mstevnz "Interesting..." thinks Jack, stroking muzzle thoughtfully... 😁

[ProstateCancerNZ @prostatenz]

On the road again, en-route to Wellington for a special event on the 27th. Watch this space for details, in the meantime check out the stunning National Park. #earlydetectionsaveslives #petition #prostatecancernz

[Peter Dickens @DickensP9]

So important. Please sign today!

[ProstateCancerNZ @prostatenz]

#prostatecancer kills around 700 NZ men a year. Kristine Hayward lost her husband Bruce prematurely to the disease. Her petition for a population-based testing regime, if implemented, could cut mortality by as much as 50%. If you agree please sign it 🙏 https://t.co/subuzEWn5l

[Peter Dickens @DickensP9]

We hope as many people diagnosed with prostate cancer follow the link to take part in this innovative study. You will be helping to achieve improved outcomes for everyone affected!

[ProstateCancerNZ @prostatenz]

How do #prostatecancer patients access and understand diagnostic and treatment information? Good communication between men and their healthcare providers is vital. What's your experience? @prostatecancernz @Waikato PCFNZ Patient Info Study

[ProstateCancerNZ @prostatenz]

Prostate cancer is our most diagnosed cancer, yet we still have no centrally-funded population-based risk-strategised early detection strategy, as we do for breast and bowel. #earlydetectionsaveslive #prostatecancernz https://t.co/TGGMxR5uFR

[Dry July NZ @DryJulyNZ]

Drum roll please... 🥁

We're excited to announce our partnership with 3 incredible cancer support organisations, including Look Good Feel Better NZ, PINC & STEEL NZ and Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand. We're so proud to help support these invaluable organisations ❤️

Today we launch the kickoff of #PraiseU to include #prostatecancer in the #EUCancerPlan and aid in the #earlydetection of prostate cancer through pilot sites to test processes and gather real world data.

[ProstateCancerNZ @prostatenz]

Feeling rather young, among all the classics at the #EllerslieClassicCarShow today but super stoked to be back. Appreciate the support given to men's health by the event organisers.
