Massachusetts 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 2010 the Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition made the following awards:
  • Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center: a grant for Funding for Cutting-Edge Translational Research Projects within DF/HCC's Prostate Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE)
  • Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center: a grant for the Prostate Cancer Research Fund Clinical Trials Program
  • Boston University School of Medicine/Boston Medical Center: a grant for prospective data collection and retrospective review of robotic prostatectomy database
  • Massachusetts General Hospital: a grant for the Urologic Research Education Fund.
Thanks to the many generous donors to the annual Conquer & Cure Dinner who make these grants possible!
