ZEROHour Newsletter: January 2017


Rise in Prostate Cancer Deaths Stems from Testing Recommendations

Template- 2017 Facts and Figures (8).jpg
The newly released "2017 Cancer Facts and Figures" report shows the
negative impact of the USPSTF recommendation against the PSA. While
the estimated number of new cases is down from last year, the
estimated number of deaths from the disease has increased. Fewer men
are being tested for prostate cancer, and more men are dying because
of it.

http://support.zerocancer.org/site/R?i=mS8I7iUppBsTbYAYxLbaLA

An additional 610 men will die from prostate cancer this year compared
to 2016.

Read the full report - compiled by American Cancer Society
from National Cancer Institute SEER, NAACCR, and CDC data.

It's more important now than ever to divorce USPSTF recommendations
from insurance coverage and general practice doctors' preventative
care protocols. ZERO is fighting for men by advocating for revised
USPSTF recommendations, offering free navigation care to patients, and
opening a grant system to combat financial toxicity that causes too
many patients to end their treatment prematurely. Find out how you can
help by signing up for our advocacy alerts.

A New Season of Run/Walk Events

2017 is just getting started, and so is ZERO's Run/Walk series! We'll
be debuting these brand new race shirts in more than 40 cities
starting in June, and we'd love to see you there!

The ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk is the time we come together,
raising funds and sharing hope to declare one number above others:
ZERO. Your participation makes a real difference in the lives of men
and families fighting prostate cancer. We fundraise, run, and
walk in honor of the three million prostate cancer patients and
survivors in the hope that one day we will achieve Generation ZERO:
the first generation free from prostate cancer.

Find out when the Run/Walk is coming to a city near you! Don't see
your city quite yet? Check back soon, as we'll have new races
launching each week.
