About Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a cancer of the prostate gland, a walnut-sized gland present in men, that lies below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in the cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Prostate cancer is usually slow growing and may take years to become large enough to be detected, often without any noticeable symptoms. Some types of prostate cancer may need minimal or no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in American men, behind lung cancer and colorectal cancer. In 2017, the American Cancer Society estimated that 161,360 men will be newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and 26,730 men will die from the disease — though many of them had lived with the disease for years prior to their deaths.

There are rare forms of prostate cancer as well which include: Sarcomas, Small cell carcinomas, Neuroendocrine tumors (other than small cell carcinomas) and Transitional cell carcinomas.

Tony | Chronic Pain

" …to my great relief “Co-Pay Relief” covered the copay. This help has given back to me the hope of many years to come. All the people I have spoken to have handled my case with dignity and respect … I am grateful that CPR is helping me stay alive. "

Betty | Pulmonary Fibrosis

" …The cost of the drugs I am taking is phenomenal, even with insurance payments… it is virtually impossible for a normal person of moderate means to be able to pay all of the costs personally. I’m not sure what happens if you can’t! Fortunately I have not had to find out because of generous support programs like the Patient Advocate Foundation. With your help I have been able to take treatments that are providing me hope… "

Harriet | Metastatic Breast Cancer

" I have high cholesterol and am unable to take certain medications … I was prescribed a drug that works well but was unable to afford the high cost. Your co-pay program allows me treatment that is affordable. "

Patricia | Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

" I will definitely recommend your program. It has helped me tremendously, not only financially but also by improving my morale. "

Ricardo | Hepatitis B

" The impact has been lifegiving. Without your financial assistance, I would not have had the resources to afford the treatments that I need. We have talked with a number of people on your staff, and everyone has been helpful and professional, and most importantly, has seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. I am grateful beyond words. "
