This approach helps doctors decide whether a biopsy is needed and assists in performing targeted biopsies. Not only does this method help diagnose more serious prostate cancers, it also reduces the diagnosis of less serious cases and reduces the overall need for biopsies. By showing how effective this pathway is, we hope to advocate for it to become the standard of care throughout New Zealand.Thanks to our supporters, this advanced pathway is available free to men in Tairāwhiti.Find out more about the project at: matai.org.nz/prostate-cancerMāori/Pacific Prostate CancerIn his New Zealand Mana Tūāpapa Future Leader Fellowship, Dr Oka Sanerivi will explore how Māori and Pacific men view and understand their health and their bodies. The research will focus on prostate cancer – the most common cancer affecting men in Aotearoa New Zealand. Māori and Pacific men experience relatively high mortality from prostate cancer, despite similar diagnosis rates to other groups. Dr Sanerivi will ask participants about disease awareness, diagnoses, access to culturally appropriate healthcare, treatment, and rehabilitation.Early detection of, and intervention in, prostate cancer is associated with improved patient outcomes, and means that less-intensive treatment is required, reducing health expenditure. This research will ensure that the experiences of Māori and Pacific men are understood, and enable co-design of a tailored health service to provide culturally informed diagnosis and care for men affected by prostate cancer. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/gisborne/mātai-prostate-cancer-community-korero-discussion/100001980413278427 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, performances, entertainment, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fmatai-prostate-cancer-community-korerodiscussion-registration-1980413278427 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: NZD ## Event venue details - **city**: Gisborne - **state**: CI - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: Matai Medical Research Institute - **lat**: -38.6608805 - **long**: 178.0101459 - **full address**: Matai Medical Research Institute, 466 Childers Road, Gisborne, New Zealand ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Mātai (https://allevents.in/org/mātai/22596885) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/9afbc4007721debe77e490193748116a5a601c82640b30744f0e9dcce4c28dc7-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1769810835 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/bbdddf98c791fab80a1e025d67f7d8c70d17869001fc4f55df98aef611115b6a-rimg-w400-h400-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1769810835 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Matai Medical Research Institute, 466 Childers Road, Gisborne, New Zealand - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 NZD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Mātai - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** health-wellness, performances, entertainment, nonprofit - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Mātai Prostate Cancer Community Korero/Discussion ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Mātai Prostate Cancer Community Korero/Discussion", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/9afbc4007721debe77e490193748116a5a601c82640b30744f0e9dcce4c28dc7-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1769810835", "startDate": "2026-02-19", "endDate": "2026-02-19", "url": "https://allevents.in/gisborne/mātai-prostate-cancer-community-korero-discussion/100001980413278427", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Matai Medical Research Institute", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "466 Childers Road", "postalCode": "4010", "addressLocality": "Gisborne", "addressRegion": "CI", "addressCountry": "NZ" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-38.6608805", "longitude": "178.0101459" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for a discussion on Mātai Prostate Cancer Projects", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "NZD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-19", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/gisborne/mātai-prostate-cancer-community-korero-discussion/100001980413278427" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "NZD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/gisborne/mātai-prostate-cancer-community-korero-discussion/100001980413278427", "price": 0, "name": "Pre-Event Mātai Tour" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "NZD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/gisborne/mātai-prostate-cancer-community-korero-discussion/100001980413278427", "price": 0, "name": "Prostate Cancer Community Discussion" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "NZD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/gisborne/mātai-prostate-cancer-community-korero-discussion/100001980413278427", "price": 0, "name": "Donation's Welcome" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Mtai", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/mātai/22596885" } ] } ] ```
