Millions flow to prostate cancer research

Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt has announced $12 million will be spent to establish an alliance of research teams to research prostate cancer.

Aussie researchers trying to find a cure for prostate cancer have been given a $12 million boost with a joint federal government and Movember Foundation cash splash.

Health Minister Greg Hunt announced on Thursday the government would chip in $6 million over three years with the foundation matching the cash to establish the Prostate Cancer Research Alliance.

The research teams will work to stop the progression of prostate cancer to more deadly stages, improve treatments and life expectancy for those with advanced stages.
