Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is All About YOU!

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 2020

It's amazing to see you and the rest of our passionate prostate cancer community kick into high gear during Prostate cancer Awareness Month. Because of you, September is already off to a strong start. Take a look at what’s happening during the most important month of the year:

  • Every Monday this month, we’ll be busting some #MondayMyths around prostate cancer, and on Fridays we’ll be sharing some #FridayFacts. Head to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Twitter to be in the know! (And remember share, like, and comment to help spread awareness!)
  • You can join thousands across the country who are spreading the word by sharing their passion to support patients in this critical time of need on social media. Register for an upcoming virtual event (more details below), download and print the #ZEROstrong sign, snap a pic, and then share it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Remember to use the hashtag #ZEROstrong in your posts for a chance to receive a shout-out from ZERO on social media.
  • Purchase some cool new ZERO swag from Nike! All purchases will benefit ZERO, and you can customize your gear.

You Made an Awesome Impact!

Congressman Dunn

Great news! A few weeks ago, we asked you and other members of the prostate cancer community to contact your congressional representative in support of H.R. 6092, the Veterans Prostate Cancer Research and Treatment Act.

Because of your passion and dedication to protecting our protectors, this bill took the floor this morning during an important hearing on the issue of high prostate cancer rates among Veterans.

But we can’t stop now! This legislation may be voted on by early November, so we need you to continue calling, emailing, writing to, and tweeting your legislators! Check out this blog post to learn how to reach out to your legislator and advocate in support of prostate cancer patients.

Prostate Cancer Research Study

Prostate Cancer DDR Deficiencies Research Study

When you’re living with metastatic prostate cancer, being able to keep the tumor under control for as long as possible allows men to maintain a good quality of life. But despite medical advances in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, options remain limited. The TALAPRO-2 clinical trial is studying a possible treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and it’s looking for men diagnosed with this form of prostate cancer who also have DNA damage repair (DDR) deficiencies.
