Prostate Cancer Advocacy Organization Teams Up With Governor Healey and Lawmakers to Recognize Prostate Cancer as a Public Health Priority and to Work to Reduce Healthcare Disparity
BOSTON, March 24, 2025 (Newswire.com) - On Thursday March 27th, the AdMeTech Foundation in cooperation with the Prostate Cancer Action Council, will hold 16th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day. This event will expand a Massachusetts model of national leadership in increasing prostate cancer awareness, eliminating health disparities, and expediting medical education and research. Attendees will learn about the recent advances in prevention, diagnosis and treatment - and Prostate Cancer Resource Project, bringing high quality care to Massachusetts men and supporting them every step of their medical journey.
Prostate cancer is the most common major malignancy in men affecting 1 in 8 American men during their lifetime. While curable when detected early, prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in Massachusetts men, and a leading health disparity. Black men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with, and to die from, prostate cancer than White men.
This event is supported by Blue Earth Diagnostics and Johnson & Johnson.
