o    Memorial University of Newfoundland
o    Dalhousie University
o    Ontario Institute for Cancer Research
o    Princess Margaret Cancer Centre
o    Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institution
o    Toronto General Hospital
o    BC Cancer Agency

The title of their research is Tumour Cell Plasticity in Treatment-Resistant Prostate Cancer and their study will focus on targeting aggressive and lethal cancer.

The Team Grant program promotes collaboration between not only researchers but also institutions, providing a united approach to prostate cancer research. 

The program brings together Canadian experts to pool their expertise and focus on a specific topic, while also providing a training environment for investigators just starting their research careers, such as fellows, graduate and undergraduate students and others from a multidisciplinary environment.

2013 Prostate Cancer Statistics

  <http://gallery.mailchimp.com/381dca877e43c44046caa6dd1/images/2013_PC_StatsC1a7f78.jpg>  <http://prostatecancer.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=381dca877e43c44046caa6dd1&id=0a3e7fdb19&e=103e67d6c8> Prostate cancer statistics for 2013 were released in May. Some of the notable trends this year include the following:

*	In 2013, it is estimated that 23,600 Canadian men will be diagnosed with the disease and 3,900 will die of prostate cancer.
*	The death rate has been declining significantly by almost 4% per year between 2001 and 2009. This is likely due to improved testing of prostate cancer and better treatment options.
*	Prostate cancer represents an estimated 25% of all new cancer cases diagnosed in Canadian men.
