PROSTATE CANCER EPIDEMIC:
UNRECOGNIZED NATIONAL PRIORITY

  • Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and the second most lethal cancer in men.
  • While prostate cancer is more common than breast cancer, national investment in prostate cancer research lags behind that of breast cancer and men do not have accurate diagnostic tools akin to life-saving mammograms.

    Key Statistics
    NCI Funding
    DOD Funding


THE PROSTATE CANCER CRISIS:
DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF UNRELIABLE DIAGNOSTICS AND BLIND PATIENT CARE
  • A man dies every 19 minutes, even though prostate cancer can be cured when detected early.
  • Blind patient care reduces quality of life in millions of men and adds billions of dollars in health care costs.

    Key Statistics
 
SOLUTION:
ADVANCED IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES

  • Early detection to save lives;
  • The least invasive and the most effective patient care;
  • Reduction of health care costs by at least $5 billion per year.

    Solution
    Estimated Cost Savings
 
“… more accurate imaging technology would lead to better patient care, including guidance for diagnosis, biopsy and minimally-invasive therapy. Real and important improvements in prostate cancer care are at hand if we are resolved to increase the national investment in prostate diagnostics.”

  "Senator Barbara Boxer introduced the $650 million Prostate Research Imaging and Men’s Education (PRIME) Act and appealed to US Senate for support. “…the PRIME Act addresses the urgent need for the development of new technologies to detect and diagnose prostate cancer and educate families about the dangers of this deadly disease.”...read more

AdMeTech Foundation was selected by a prestigious initiative of leaders of television and entertainment called Stand Up to Cancer.

Stand up to CancerStand Up to Cancer is launching a new movement to attack cancer once and for all by pushing promising scientific breakthroughs to the finish.

Cancer takes one person every minute. One life in a moment. They are our brothers, our sisters, our fathers and mothers, our husbands and wives, our best friends, our children, ourselves.

Inspired to act by our own personal experiences with cancer, we recognize that we can no longer rely on the current system alone to give us the breakthroughs we need. So, we are calling on the public to help take matters into our own hands, investing in a revolution that will change the way scientist and clinicians work to understand and treat these diseases. Stand Up To Cancer is more than a rallying cry. It is a galvanizing force created to urgently move cancer research forward.

This is where the end of cancer begins: when we unite together in one unstoppable movement and Stand Up To Cancer.
