In this case study video, Dr Andrew Armstrong takes us through the treatment of a patient with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. 👉 https://ow.ly/JW9850QeX14 How should we treat this patient using PARP inhibitors in combination with non-hormonal agents? Dr Armstrong guides us through this patient's germline and somatic genetic assessment and how the outcome impacts our choice of therapy. We are led through the latest trial data regarding the efficacy and side-effects of PARP inhibitors and how to use this information to guide our treatment choices.

We're thrilled to welcome two exceptional leaders to the ZERO Prostate Cancer team: Angie Hawk as Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships and AJ W. as Director of Corporate Partnerships. Angie brings a wealth of nonprofit leadership experience from her role as a major gift officer at Thomas More University. But her connection to our cause is personal—her husband's prostate cancer diagnosis four years ago has given her a deep understanding of the impact this disease has on patients and their loved ones. AJ's background includes experience as a U.S. Embassy bodyguard in the United States Marine Corps and as a NASCAR business executive. As a prostate cancer survivor himself, AJ is driven by a powerful combination of professional expertise and personal mission. Together, Angie and AJ will spearhead our efforts to expand corporate support, build meaningful partnerships, and accelerate our progress toward ending prostate cancer. 🎗️ #ZEROProstateCancer #EndProstateCancer #WelcomeToTheTeam #NonprofitLeadership

Last weekend, David Moffett, our Atlanta Black Men's Prostate Cancer Initiative Support Group leader, hosted a truly impactful prostate cancer awareness event in his community. The event featured an esteemed clinician panel of prostate cancer experts, including our newest Medical Advisory Board member, Leanne Woods-Burnham, Ph.D.. Their participation and insights were invaluable in providing attendees with information on prostate cancer research, patient support, and navigating disparities some men face. 🩺💡 We are incredibly grateful for the support and expertise of our Medical Advisory Board and the clinicians who participated in this event. Their collaboration with Champions like David Moffett is crucial in advancing our mission to end prostate cancer.

Did you know? "Aside from some skin cancers, prostate cancers are the most common cancers among men in the U.S. Nearly 270,000 people in America will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, and it is the fourth most common cancer worldwide," says Marc Garnick. Prostate cancer is just as impactful on men's health as breast cancer is on women's health. Yet, it's talked about significantly less. We need to continue to raise awareness about risk factors, screening methods, and early detection because these things truly help save lives. #ProstateCancer #Cancer #Healthcare #MensHealth #Awareness

Thank you, Jared Krieger! We are so honored to have your support and can't wait for this event! #ZEROProstateCancer #ZERORunWalk
I am excited to announce that I have been chosen by ZERO Prostate Cancer to serve as the Executive Chairman of the 2024 Dr. Sanford J. Siegel Prostate Cancer Run/Walk at Towson University on Sunday, September 29th 2024. About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Early Detection is key, but financial barriers to screening exist in many areas. ZERO Prostate Cancer's mission is simple: provide partnership, education and funding to areas that desperately need Prostate Cancer awareness and screening resources. This mission is personal to me; My Grandfather was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer many years ago and underwent curative treatment. However, this will forever put me at an increased risk for Prostate Cancer. Many men are unaware of the factors that put them at increased risk for Prostate Cancer, and ZERO Prostate Cancer works tirelessly to educate the public on these risks and connect those at risk to screening and treatment resources. In partnership with Chesapeake Urology Associates, we are so excited to bring this event to the Baltimore Region for another year. This year our goal is to be the LARGEST ZERO Prostate Cancer Event in the entire country by raising 1 Million Dollars, but we can't do that without your help! Not sure how to participate or want to join a team? Everyone is welcome to join Team Defender One: https://lnkd.in/gRNr52T5 We are looking for partners of all levels: Corporate, Personal, Team Leaders, and Executive Committee Members to be a part of this amazing mission. If you or your business is interested in getting involved (on any level), please reach out to me so we can discuss a mutually beneficial partnership. We have options that suit everyones needs, budgets and ROI. I am incredibly honored to be chosen to lead this event and I look forward to the largest ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk in the country!
