The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF), headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, funds research into the prevention and cure of prostate cancer. 1 in 7 U.S. men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. African-American men are 70% more likely to get prostate cancer, and 2.4 times more likely for their prostate cancer to be fatal. Active duty military personnel are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer as their civilian counterparts. Several important prostate cancer discoveries made in the past two decades have been as a result of PCF’s actions, whether in funding or in coordination.
