The State of Prostate Cancer Today
How your partnership with the PCF has led to 15 years of progress — and a future of hope

Before the PCF was founded in 1993, men with prostate cancer faced a grim reality.

Just $27 million in federal funds existed for research on the deadly disease. There were only three research labs, two new clinical trials per year, and NO promising medicines in the pipeline — leading Forbes magazine to label prostate cancer investigation a "research backwater."

Giving Men New Hope
Since then, the PCF has raised more than $350 million and funded 1,500 research projects worldwide. There are now:

• $550 million in federal funds
• 200 dedicated research labs
• More than 60 clinical trials per year
• Over 30 promising new medicines

These are just a few of the highlights that have given the two million American men struggling with prostate cancer new hope . . . and made the PCF the world’s leader in this fight.

Winning the Fight Against Prostate Cancer
Most importantly, prostate cancer deaths have declined 30% — one of the best returns on investment anywhere.

Thank you for helping make these advances possible. We look forward to sharing with you many more breakthroughs we will accomplish together in the years to come.

The PCF is the world's leading organization dedicated to eliminating death and suffering from prostate cancer — with a proven record of results.
