The NCRI Prostate Group brings together clinicians, scientists and patients, carers and others affected by cancer (also known as ‘consumers’), amongst many others, to coordinate the development of a strategic portfolio of research within the field of prostate cancer. The group works closely with clinical research networks, funders and researchers to develop research to improve outcomes for prostate cancer patients.  

The NCRI Prostate Group consists of an executive group, chaired by Professor Hashim Ahmedwhich provides oversight of the research landscape and proactively identifies opportunities for the group. The NCRI Prostate Group also has several subgroups that develop research in areas of strategic need.
