Why Your Investment Matters: Fewer Men are Dying
Thanks to innovations in PCF -funded research and treatment, an estimated 1.5 million more men are alive today. The death rate from prostate cancer has dropped by over 50%, defying predictions of a rise as baby boomers reached the most vulnerable age. PCF’s work has led to a dramatic reduction in prostate cancer deaths- progress we are committed to continuing.
