Teesside Prostate Cancer Support Group

We are developing a small, non-invasive device — called a biosensor —  that aims to help detect prostate cancer and monitor its return more  easily and comfortably. Unlike traditional methods such as biopsies or  digital rectal exams, this sensor uses a tiny drop of non-invasive  liquid sample (blood or urine) to detect specific cancer-related  markers, providing quicker results with less stress.

The  goal of our project is to create a simple, low-cost tool that can one  day be used in clinics — or even from home — to support regular  monitoring  and early detection of prostate cancer. But most importantly, we want  this device to be designed with the real needs and experiences of  individuals in mind. That’s why your feedback is so valuable to us. By  sharing your experience and views  you  will be helping us design a biosensor that could make a real difference in the lives of current and future patients.
