WHY IT MATTERS
-
WHY IT MATTERS -
Prostate Cancer is one of the most common and lethal cancers worldwide for men. On a localized scale, discussions surrounding prostate cancer remain limited, stigmatized, and are often overlooked in educational and preventative healthcare settings. PCRAD aims to bridge that gap between prostate cancer research/therapies and public understanding through initiatives in education, outreach, and the evaluation of scientific literature.
Our vision is a future where every individual has access to accurate information, early screening opportunities, and the latest advancements in prostate cancer research. We are aiming to expand not only in Texas, but across the United States as well. This website will also serve as a bookmark for new experiences this organization will engage in, and among many activities we hope to fulfill.
