Understanding Gleason Scores (了解格里森評分 - 决定前列腺癌治療的指標)



The speaker is our advisor Dr Wellam Yu Ko RN, PhD, Cantonese/English presentation :

Wellam Yu Ko completed his PhD at UBC in 2018. His research used the masculinities framework to examine the connections between work, prostate cancer and radical prostatectomy. Wellam’s research findings provide a strong foundation from which he plans to investigate the effectiveness of potential interventions designed to help men manage career and employment-related priorities after prostate cancer diagnosis. As a Registered Nurse, Wellam is committed to raising awareness about male-specific health issues in the community and is involved in the Richmond Chinese Prostate Cancer Support Group’s activities to disseminate evidence-based knowledge and support men with prostate cancer.
