prostatepedia magazine covers

 

Prostatepedia features informal conversations with doctors, patients, and activists about prostate cancer. Each month they tackle a different topic facing prostate cancer patients today—from how imaging has impacted treatment to dealing with erectile dysfunction after radiation or surgery to the evolving field of immunotherapy.

Prostatepedia Magazine (quarterly) and the weekly Prostatepedia Digests became part of NASPCC starting with the August 2020 issue.

  • Malecare - downloads on Advanced Cancer, clinical trials, foreign language materials, help for patients and families - transportation, medication, treatments, housing.
  • Prostate Cancer Treatment Research Foundation (PCTRF) - was established in November 2010 to help people interested in, and affected by prostate cancer through education and research.

    The primary goal of the foundation is to help people make better decisions about prostate cancer treatment.

    We will accomplish this goal by supporting and promoting educational resources relevant to prostate cancer treatment such as the Prostate Cancer Results Study Group and the PCa Commentary by making their results readily available:

    • to patients, and the groups that support them,
    • to medical professionals, as they seek to provide the best care for their patients,
    • to policy-makers, charged with allocating resources for the best outcomes.
