In work recently published in European Urology, Kerri and her co-authors compared the risk of additional comorbidities for men with advanced prostate cancer on two different types of hormone therapy. This publication is now available online:
Beckmann K, Garmo H, Adolfsson J, Bosco C, Johansson E, Robinson D, Holmberg L, Stattin P, Van Hemelrijck M. Androgen Deprivation Therapies and Changes in Comorbidity: A comparison of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and antiandrogen monotherapy as primary therapy in men with high-risk prostate cancer. European Urology. 2018 doi: 10.1016/j.eururo.2018.11.022. [Epub ahead of print].
Currently her research exploring whether older men with prostate cancer might benefit from curative radiotherapy rather than going on hormone therapy or not receiving treatment at all. She is also researching possible explanations for why men with diabetes appear to be at lower risk of getting prostate cancer.
Kerri was the primary organiser of the Prostate Cancer Living Well After Treatment public forum in Adelaide in November 2016, which was attended by 200 men with prostate cancer, family members and friends.
Kerri has been engaged in the following committes:
