Brief description I am a medical oncologist focused on prostate cancer, a disease which kills over 3000 Australian men every year. Recent studies have shown that new hormone treatments help men with advanced prostate cancer live longer. Unfortunately, while these drugs are effective when first started, prostate cancers eventually become resistant to them and start growing again. By looking at why these drugs stop working, I hope to find better treatments for Australian men with advanced prostate cancer.
