We are pleased to present you with the April issue of Prostate Cancer News You Can Use. Every month we send this email to share prostate cancer headlines, as well as other information, resources, and event listings which you might find useful.

We are thrilled to announce we will be joining forces with ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer to better serve the prostate cancer community. This unification will allow us to make a deeper impact for prostate cancer patients, survivors, families, and medical professionals. Learn more about how the upcoming merger will strengthen our shared mission of advancing research, inspiring action, and improving the lives of men and their families through support, education, advocacy, and awareness at www.ustoo.org/ustoo-zero-merger-pr. 

On Thursday, April 22, we were pleased to present a webinar on the topic of Shared Decision Making. This was the second webinar in Us TOO's series, “What is Right for Me in My Prostate Cancer Treatment?” Thanks to our featured experts: Lillie D. Shockney, Dr. Aisha T. Langford, Dr. Stacy Loeb, and Dr. Adam B. Murphy. Thank you to our series sponsor, Astellas Pfizer. Video will be available soon, so please keep an eye on your email.

Video is now available of our March 25th webinar on Diet-Related Health Disparities Within the Black Community, with an important conversation about nutrition and its impact on prostate, sexual, heart, and overall health. The event featured: Dr. Columbus D. Batiste, Dr. Edwin K. McDonald, Dr. Adam B. Murphy, and Dr. Stacy Loeb.

Join ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer for the webinar Clinical Trial Diversity: Physician & Patient Perspective. As prostate cancer treatments become more sophisticated and personalized, the lack of diversity in clinical trials can make it particularly challenging to understand drug safety and efficacy. Dr. Laurence Belkoff from MidLantic Urology will be joined by a patient who is currently enrolled in a clinical trial. Together they will discuss the importance of trust between patients and the research community and explore ways to encourage minority participation in clinical trials. The event is on Wednesday, April 28 at 4:30pm Eastern. Register at www.zerocancer.org/apr28-webinar. 

Join AnCan for the webinar "Will Immunotherapy Change Your Prostate Cancer Treatment Path?" on Thursday, April 29 at 8pm Eastern. The event will feature Larry Fong, MD - Co-Director, Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at UCSF, Efim Guzik Distinguished Professor of Cancer Biology. Register at https://bit.ly/3thuPmq.
