The new clinical research facility is at the heart of the Patrick G. Johnston Centre for Cancer Research at Queen’s University.
Ireland’s first independent Prostate Cancer Centre of Excellence has opened at Queen’s University Belfast.
The new Prostate Cancer Centre of Excellence builds on the work that has taken place with The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester since 2016.This work has included a world first, successful clinical trial which has shown how a new combination of radiotherapies has improved the treatment of very advanced prostate cancer in men.
Speaking at the launch, Professor Sir Ian Greer, vice-chancellor at Queen’s, said the centre would transform research in Ireland. “This centre is another example of Queen’s playing a major role in developing cutting-edge treatments and improving patient care to improve the prospects for cancer patients and their families, both here and across the world.”More than 4,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.Mr Creswell said that telling his family he had been diagnosed with cancer was “one of the worst things”.
Mr Creswell said participating in the clinical trial made him feel like he had “done something towards” finding new treatments.
