Favorite Organizations for Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF)

This is your one-stop source for information on prostate cancer. You can easily search for support groups, doctors, and clinical trials. And, your donation to the PCF funds prostate cancer research, with 84 cents of every dollar going toward their research mission.

Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI)

PCRI focuses on improving the lives of prostate cancer patients and caregivers. We love that you can take a prostate cancer staging quiz to find out more about your prognosis. To take it, you’ll need to know the results of your PSA, biopsy, digital rectal exam, bone scan, and CT scan.

American Cancer Society

The American Cancer Society is considered the go-to source for reliable cancer information. Their site offers news releases, clinical trial opportunities, online support groups, and more. We especially like their Understanding Health Insurance page, which navigates you through the often complex process of utilizing health insurance for cancer treatments.

If you’re looking to educate your community about prostate cancer or volunteer at different events, Zero is a great place to start. Zero’s mission is to move towards a generation where no men have prostate cancer.

PHEN is an organization geared toward African American men — a group that has the nation’s highest prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates. It offers support groups, survivor networks, and a monthly newsletter that features new treatments and clinical trials. Their annual Father’s Day Rally event takes place at churches nationwide.
