Welcome to the Prostate Cancer Coalition of North Carolina (PCCNC)

Prostate cancer is a major health issue in North Carolina. The death rate from prostate cancer in North Carolina is one of the highest in the nation; African-American men in North Carolina have one of the highest death rates from prostate cancer in the world.

Prostate health: Don't be blind-sided by prostate cancer! Learn about risk and prevention for you and your loved ones.

From detection through diagnosis: the key to effective cancer treatment is finding it as early as possible.

After diagnosis: just as important as finding cancer early, is knowing which kind of cancer you have, appropriate treatment options, and resources to enhance survivorship.

Download coalition resources to: facilitate the early adoption of proactive health screening for men; improve understanding and awareness of the prostate health; encourage the application of "gold standard" screening in primary care facilities; streamline knowledge to men referred for urologic follow-up and enhance newly diagnosed patient education and support.
