3,000 Australians die of prostate cancer annually yet 100,000 are living with the disease. This project will identify the causes of death in men with prostate cancer. It will examine whether testing for the disease lowers the risk of death, whether patients are at higher risk of suicide or heart disease and if type of treatment is related to long term risk of heart disease. The results will help men and their doctors make informed decisions about testing and treatment for prostate cancer.

每年有3000名澳大利亚人死于前列腺癌，但仍有10万人患有前列腺癌。该项目将确定前列腺癌患者的死亡原因。它将检查这种疾病的检测是否降低了死亡风险，患者是否有更高的自杀或心脏病风险，以及治疗类型是否与心脏病的长期风险有关。这一结果将帮助男性和他们的医生做出关于前列腺癌测试和治疗的明智决定。
