Us TOO is proud to be an advocacy partner with
The Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project (
MPCproject.org
)
, a nationwide genomic research study for men with metastatic and/or advanced prostate cancer. Patients can join online and participate by sharing their medical information and samples. The project’s first data release included de-identified clinical, genomic, and patient-reported data.
The goal is to release new data every six months at
MPCproject.org/data-release
to help researchers better understand metastatic and advanced prostate cancer, and accelerate discoveries.
Prostate cancer support groups provide a valuable opportunity to connect with others for solutions, support and perspective
on managing every aspect of the disease – from testing to active surveillance, treatment options and side effect management.
Us TOO has a network of more than 200 support groups
in the U.S. and abroad. We thank all of the support group leaders who volunteer their time and leadership to provide this peer-to-peer forum for men diagnosed with prostate cancer and their loved ones, and encourage those who are interested to
find an Us TOO support group near you
.
If you are the wife or female partner of a man with prostate cancer, we invite you to join a conference call to connect with other women facing the same challenges.
Because prostate cancer is a couple's disease, the woman is often subject to her own concerns in addition to those she shares with her partner.
A Forum for Her
is an ongoing series of conference calls that provide women with important peer-to-peer support.
