Chairman champions prostate cancer cause during Dry July
Walking the talk is something Adjunct A/Professor Steve Callister takes seriously in his role as the National Chairman of Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
The long-term prostate cancer survivor and businessman has joined PCFA’s Dry July campaign, captaining 1400 other supporters in their month-long quest to quit alcohol and raise funds for Australian men and families impacted by the disease.
His mission for Dry July is just the latest in a commitment that spans over 15 years of voluntary service to PCFA, including the last three as Chairman of the nation’s peak body.
Anti-androgen therapy for patients with advanced prostate cancer may fuel bone metastasis
Dr Bock, under the mentorship of Distinguished Professor Dietmar Hutmacher, from QUT Centre for Biomedical Technologies, has focused her research on bone metastases from breast and prostate cancers.
She developed 3D miniature bone-like tissue models in which 3D printed biomimetic scaffolds are seeded with patient-derived bone cells and tumor cells to be used as clinical and preclinical drug testing tools.
The research team investigated their hypothesis that traditional anti-androgen therapy had limited effect in the microenvironment of prostate cancer bone tumors. The team s findings are published in
Science Advances.
