Minnesota Prostate Cancer Coalition

I'm proud to be helping form the Minnesota Prostate Cancer Coalition, a new member of the National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions.


Check us out at http://www.mnpcc.org and the national organization at http://www.naspcc.org.   


In 2009, I was one of 3,807 newly diagnosed cases of prostate cancer. That year, 534 men died with prostate cancer documented as the underlying cause of death on their death certificates.   Prostate cancer is the single most common cancer in Minnesota among both sexes.
