Greater Boston Urology is a proud supporter of ZERO Prostate Cancer, specifically the organization's annual Walk/Run held every September in honor of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

As its website states, ZERO Prostate Cancer is “the destination for taking action to end prostate cancer and making prostate cancer research a national priority. . . Our mantra to support, educate, and activate is mobilizing a like-minded, passionate, and multigenerational army of advocates across the country to end prostate cancer.”

Prostate Cancer Facts:

• Every 18 minutes another American man dies from prostate cancer.
• One in nine American men will have prostate cancer during his lifetime.
• Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American men and is the most commonly diagnosed.
• The American Cancer Society estimates in its Cancer Facts & Figures 2018 report that 164,690 men will be told they have prostate cancer in 2018.
• Currently, there are nearly 2.9 million American men living with the disease – roughly equal to the population of Chicago.

Early detection and advances in treatment are saving lives! Raising awareness and critical funding contribute to both.
