An update on our EMMPC study, looking at whether regular exercise prior a prostatectomy changes the genetic expression and molecular makeup of the tumour and improve their diagnosis. The study found that introducing exercise during the teachable moment, which was after diagnosis and before surgery, led to increased physical activity among participants six months post-surgery and well after the exercise intervention period.

Celebrating 7 successful years of the PCSC Program providing accessible support for patients and their family members!

From the PCSC Program, have a happy holiday season and a great start to the New Year!
