Greetings,

We are pleased to present you with the March 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.

Virtual Support Groups
Us TOO has virtual prostate cancer support groups that continue to meet regularly and host guest speakers. These meetings can be accessed by phone or by internet, and can be attended from any location. For a list of groups, please visit: www.ustoo.org/virtual-ustoo-support-groups.
  
Webinars
We are excited to launch The Black Men's Prostate Cancer Initiative to decrease health outcome disparities in prostate cancer treatment in the Black community through support and education. The initiative’s first community education webinar is a panel discussion on diet-related health disparities within the Black community and will feature an important conversation about nutrition and its impact on prostate, sexual, heart, and overall health. While this webinar series has been developed for the initiative’s pilot program, based in the Hyde Park area of Chicago, and will focus on information relevant to the Black community, the webinars are open to any interested parties. We look forward to you joining us on Thursday, March 25, 7:00 – 8:30pm Central. Register at: www.ustoo.org/blackmenshealthwebinar.

We thank Gregory Lewis, MD, Christine M. Palumbo, RDN, FAND, and Jamie Kearns, MD for being a part of this valuable discussion. Thanks also to Amgen for their generous sponsorship of the webinar.
