    Prostate Cancer PD has been developed by the Exercise Oncology Team at Australian Catholic University. The ACU team strives to enhance the lives of people with cancer through innovative research and effectively translating research into practice. We seek to address significant challenges that current knowledge and practice is failing to effectively manage, and strive to improve the delivery of care for the significant and distressing side effects caused by cancer and its treatment. Our work in this area is internationally recognised and has been the subject of numerous awards, invited presentations (including a TED talk) and media coverage.
