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 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 2009 the Massachusetts Prostate Cancer Coalition made the following awards:
- The Hershey Funds at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center an $10,000 grant for: MRI Guided Prostate Biopsy Program.
- Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center an $15,000 grant for: Funding for Cutting-Edge Translational Research Projects within DF/HCC's Prostate Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE).
Thanks to the many generous donors to the annual Conquer & Cure Dinner who make these grants possible!
