Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Right now, one man dies every 16 minutes from prostate cancer in the United States. PCF’s vision is to end all deaths from prostate cancer by raising awareness and funding urgent, cutting-edge research.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Young Investigators

PCF created the Young Investigator Awards program with one goal: to identify a cohort of future research leaders who will keep the field of prostate cancer research vibrant with new ideas.

The Young Investigator Awards offer career and project support for young (generally 35 and younger) proven investigators in postdoctoral fellowships or who have recently achieved junior faculty positions and are committing their lives to the field of prostate cancer.

Population(s) Served

One of PCF’s goals is to support transformational prostate cancer research to accelerate progress towards the reduction of death and suffering due to recurrent or advanced prostate cancer. How do we hope to accomplish this? By funding cross-disciplinary teams of investigators in strategic areas through our Challenge Awards.

Population(s) Served

PCF and its partners grant awards that recognize top presentations at international cancer research meetings. Recognition Awards go to investigators not currently funded by PCF who have a record of outstanding accomplishments in prostate cancer research.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

PCF’s mission is to cure prostate cancer once and for all. Since 1993,
PCF has raised more than $840 million in support of cutting-edge
research by more than 2,200 research projects at 220 leading cancer
centers. Thanks in part to PCF’s commitment to ending death and
suffering from prostate cancer, the death rate is down 52%.

*Help researchers learn why 1 in 9 men get prostate cancer—and why it is more deadly to some than others
*Help support scientists who are trying to speed new treatments to patients
*Help connect families and clinicians to the latest standard-of-care information

PCF continues to fund the most promising research, while increasing the overall distribution of education materials to patients and clinicians.

Thanks in large part to research funded by PCF, new investigational treatments are available for over half of men with metastatic prostate cancer. PARP inhibitors, checkpoint immunotherapy, and PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy are just three of the strategies on the horizon for men with advanced disease.

In the past 27 years since PCF was founded, deaths from prostate cancer have dropped by 52% and countless more men are alive today as a result. In addition, PCF has made the following accomplishments:

*In the last decade (2010-2020), 11 new drugs were approved for prostate cancer; 10 of those had PCF involvement
*PCF-funded research includes more than 40 different additional therapies currently under investigation
*More than 100,000 patient resources were distributed in 2019 to prostate cancer patients and family members, including: Prostate Cancer Patient Guide; Science of Living Well, Beyond Cancer; Additional Facts for African American Men and Their Families
*PCF-funded research has helped bring 12 precision anti-prostate cancer medicines to market as well as funded countless studies to help identify which patients might benefit from which treatments

At PCF, we will continue fighting prostate cancer without reservation. Our mission is to ensure that families have more days together and — as with every challenge we rip through at PCF — science will prevail in these trying times.
