Welcome!
Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed non-skin cancer in men and the second cause of
cancer death after lung cancer. During this year alone 4,300 men will be diagnosed with
prostate cancer in Arizona and some 700 men will die from the disease and yet most
Arizona families have a low level of awareness to the risk of prostate cancer. We intend to
change this.

OUR MISSION

Is to improve public awareness to the risk of prostate cancer in Arizona and to promote
early detection to avoid an advanced stage diagnosis. Many deaths can be avoided if the
cancer is detected early. The simplest way to do this is by having your doctor check you
with a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal examination (DRE).

WHO WE ARE

The Southwest Prostate Cancer Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization
founded in October, 1999 by volunteers and volunteer survivors who are dedicated to
make prostate cancer a family issue in Arizona by raising public awareness. Southwest
Prostate Cancer Foundation holds monthly meetings with presentations by guest experts
on various topics about prostate cancer. Join us at one of these meetings and come away
with a better understanding of who we are, and why we are so committed to bringing down
the number of deaths caused by this disease. Call 602-547-3806 for a meeting schedule.

HOW CAN YOU HELP

Prostate cancer kills men in Arizona once every 15 hours. Many of these deaths are
unnecessary if the cancer is diagnosed at an earlier stage. Your donation will support our
awareness program and will provide free tests for men who have the highest risks of
developing prostate cancer. HELP US WITH YOUR DONATIONS (click here)

The Southwest Prostate Cancer Foundation has cancer survivors members and experts
