Zero prostate cancer deaths. Zero prostate cancer cases and for those with prostate cancer it means a zero PSA. Coming this fall, our new name conveys what we stand for - zero tolerance for prostate cancer.
In September, the National Prostate Cancer Coalition will change its name to ZERO - The Project to End Prostate Cancer. While this will bring about noticeable changes to the look and feel of our materials from our newsletter to a new Web site, our mission remains the same. We will continue the same programs and services on which we have built our reputation as the leading prostate cancer non-profit organization.
Keep an eye out for our new Web site in September at ZeroCancer.org!
Coming in September: ZERO

Prostate Cancer:
Men Get It.
Annual Prostate Cancer Screening Saves Lives
 One in six men will get prostate cancer, but if caught early, nearly 100% survive.
|
|
 Early prostate cancer has no symptoms, that's why screening is so important.
|
|
 African American men have an even higher risk: one in four men.
|

Keep prostate cancer out of your future: fight for a cure now. |

The Summit
to End Prostate Cancer
 Since we opened our doors in 1996, the National Prostate Cancer Coalition has helped infuse billions of dollars for prostate cancer research through the federal government by working with elected officials and bringing advocates from across the country to Capitol Hill. In recent years, funding for prostate cancer has stalled but with a new President and Congress coming to Washington, DC at the end of the year, 2008 is an important time to re-establish the critical role the federal government plays in saving lives from prostate cancer.
Sign up for more information about coming to this year's Capitol Hill rally.
