TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK
FANS for the CURE is here to inform and encourage men to take control of their health by getting tested, knowing their stats, and playing an active role in their health and wellness. We do this through awareness events and screenings in baseball parks, ice rinks, and entertainment venues across the country and throughout the year. We’re also partnering with the Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project and offering our FANS community an opportunity to help researchers gather data and accelerated new discoveries and better treatments for prostate cancer. Consider joining our growing network of doctors, nurses, athletes, researchers, dads, sons, brothers, moms, daughters, and sisters who understand that no one should go on this journey alone.

Prostate Cancer Research
FANS for the CURE is excited about our first important step in supporting prostate cancer research by becoming an an Advocacy Partner for the Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project (MPCP) — a nationwide genomic research initiative designed for men with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. This cutting-edge project, which is being conducted at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, takes a new approach to genomic research by working directly with men with advanced and metastatic prostate cancer to accelerate important discoveries. The project will create the most comprehensive prostate cancer database that will be shared with the entire research community and enable scientists to look at patient-provided, de-identified data, tumor samples, clinical information and more — allowing for more exhaustive research into prostate cancer and its treatment.
