Prostate Cancer Coalition invites you to join and support a statewide non-profit organization devoted to providing information and education on prostate cancer for newly diagnosed individuals, survivors, men-at-risk, and their families as well as for health care professionals.
MPCC sponsors research on prostate cancer in collaboration with local hospitals and various health care providers and engages people across the Commonwealth in outreach to increase funding for prostate cancer education and research.
In 2011 the Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition made the following awards:
- Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center funding for clinical and basic science research projects with regards to prostate cancer.
- Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center: funding for Cutting-Edge Translational Research Projects within DF/HCC's Prostate Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE).
- Lahey Clinic Medical Center: funding for Correlation of Caveolin-1 Expression with the Clinical Outcome in Prostate Cancer Patients.
- Massachusetts General Hospital: funding to develop and pilot test a secure Massachusetts-based electronic registry of prostate cancer patients treated with protons, monitoring and collecting data prospectively on radiation techniques, dose, disease outcomes, and patient reported quality of life.
