CambsPSA has been set up by a small group of prostate cancer patients based mainly in East Anglia. We meet regularly and frequently invite guest speakers to come to our meetings – for instance, our June 2016 meeting featured Dr Hayley Whitaker, talking about her ground-breaking research into Prostate Cancer – plus we also have guest speakers on other topics too. (see our diary dates page for more info on our next meetings).
In short, you can be sure that you’ll have a good couple of hours of enjoyable company and you might even learn a thing or two. 🙂
Plus, we usually hold a raffle so pop along and you might win something !
About CambsPSA
The objects of CambsPSA, set out in the CambsPSA Constitution (linked to below), are:
- To relieve the physical or mental distress or poverty of persons with prostate cancer
- To provide education and information about prostate cancer to persons who may be affected
- To contribute to the provision of treatment and care of those affected by prostate cancer
CambsPSA‘s services are provided by members working from home and acting as volunteers, who are elected at the Annual General Meeting (which is usually held at the beginning of each calendar year), to which all members are invited. The current office-holders are:
Patron: Dr Hayley Whitaker, PhD (Imperial): Hayley obtained her PhD at Imperial College, London working on androgen receptor interacting proteins and swiftly moved to The University of Cambridge to join Professor David Neal working on mechanisms of prostate cancer development. After moving to the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute when it opened Hayley went on to develop a prostate biomarker programme making use of the Prompt and ProTect biorepositories. In recent years Hayley expanded the biomarker work to other cancers by setting up the Biomarker Initiative to work on prostate, pancreas, cholangiocarcinoma, bladder and ovarian cancers. In April 2015 Hayley moved to UCL to develop a group focused on molecular diagnostics and therapeutics. Later that year she was made Head of Centre for Molecular Intervention.

Great stuff, if I might add, my mother is a nurse and says that.
.. Salmon is such an excellent food when trying to
lose weight. It has so many nutritional benefits, and can help keep you going for a long period of time.
If you are a little afraid of cooking fish, canned salmon is an excellent,
affordable alternative, that will taste wonderful.
