SEPTEMBER PROGRAMS
WATCH FOR OUR EXCITING PROGRAMS THIS MONTH
Prostate Cancer Awareness Week and Early Detection
Since 1989, PCEC has coordinated national Prostate Cancer Awareness Week, a program initially offered in September. Through this program, the PCEC organizes hundreds of free or low-cost screening sites for more than 125,000 men each year across the country. To date, the program has resulted in nearly 5 million screenings for prostate cancer, BPH and other health concerns.
SET the PACE for Prostate Cancer
Launched in 2001, this series is integral to our mission and increases the awareness of prostate health. Featured activities are diverse and including runs, motorcycle rides, conferences and more-thus ensuring our ability to reach men and women from all walks of life.
International Screenings
PCEC is pleased to announce the launch of International Screening Events. Join us as we welcome screening sites from Japan to Dubai to bringing life saving early detection around the world.
In This Together
Women make nearly two-thirds of the healthcare decisions in this country. In This Together provides a valuable network and resources for women who are helping the men in their lives stay healthy.
Research
PCEC is dedicated to advancing prostate cancer research and developing new technologies for the detection and treatment of the disease. Data and serum from our Prostate Screenings have provided critical data for analysis, longitudinal studies and clinical trial recruitment. Current research focuses on data from our Know Your Numbers Campaign, which includes data on a variety of men's health conditions including PSA, testosterone, cholesterol, PCA3 and more. Our research contributions are commonly seen in peer reviewed publications and abstracts at national medical meetings.

Recognizing the importance of this initiative, football greats, including the Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo, Redskins Joe Theismann, Steeler's linebacker Robin Cole, Bronco's middle linebacker Al Wilson and Lion's defensive tackle Tyoka Jackson, have all dedicated their time to the program over its 11 years.
Support and Outreach
PCEC currently maintains contact with more than 5,000 healthcare professionals and nearly 500 doctor's offices and hospitals. We also reach out to over 100,000 patients each year through our work with health fairs, nursing networks, support groups, charities and families around the nation.
