Educating and mobilizing African American communities in the fight against prostate cancer is paramount to PHEN's mission, and the public health need, to eliminate the prostate cancer disparity. Meeting this challenge requires the involvement and support of a broad array of leadership working together at all levels. This summit session will review and assess some of these initiatives and explore new strategies that can accelerate progress.
